Hi,
Is there a symbol that can be used to chart the price of a call spread using IB data with Sierra Chart?
Thanks.

Not a spread but individual options can be charted and then you can use the Difference study with them. Refer to:

Thanks very much for the quick response. Can you please tell me which study would work for a straddle? I tried sum charts from a list but I am not sure if that is appropriate.

How is the straddle calculated? You may want to use this study:
Combination Symbol Chart

This study should give you enough flexibility to accomplish this.
