I am trying to add option symbols to a quoteboard using the TD Amertrade data feed.

I have tried using IBM DEC 21 2013 180 CALL, which is the options format used on their website. I have also tried IBM_122113C180, which is the format described in their API documentation.

Neither format returns data. Could you please let me know the proper format for options symbols for this data service.

This is an example of how you would specify the symbol within Sierra Chart:
VMF Jan 22 2011 25.0 Call

The letters apparently are case-sensitive. That could be the problem because you do not have the correct case in your given symbol.
