I've been attempting to retrieve stock option pricing in the format suggested...
SPY-OPT-20100331-110-P-SMART-100-USD
However, the error log basically says this security doesn't exist.
Can you suggest a solution?
Also, IB has a nice feature of plotting the dividend dates and cash amount in the chart window, is this possible?

FYI - I'm just getting started with SC but really like what I see so far. The combination of price to features is the best I found.
this weekend I'll start looking into ASCIL and perhaps I'll discover the answers to my questions, but any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

The problem is most likely with the date. Here is the format:
Interactive Brokers Symbols: Options Format

Make sure it is the Last Trading Date. Let us know if that is the problem.
