Hi SC Support,

I read through the Exchange Data Feed documentation and did not find symbol limits rules on futures options and spreads. Can you please give more details?

1. For futures options, is the whole chain of all strikes on one expiration date, for example ES1A, counted as one symbol? Or each strike is counted as one symbol, as shown in the FS list? Are Calls and Puts counted as different symbols?

2. Is one spread, for example, a calendar spread ESH19-ESH20 counted as an additional symbol on top of individual ESH19 and ESH20?

Thank you.

Each individual contract is counted as one symbol. You can certainly get listings of all of these options or spreads without quotes but once you put them on a quote board or open charts for them, each one is counted as one symbol.

So if I put 5 strikes of Calls and Puts of ES1A on the quote board, it will be counted as 10 symbols?
Is it the same if I access options prices via DTC protocol?
Thanks
