You are asking about Interactive Brokers. We do not provide technical support for Interactive Brokers. Interactive Brokers is an absolute joke when it comes to options. You need to use the Denali Exchange Data Feed for options data and to support getting the options symbols, which you are not: Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart: Futures Options And for trading Futures options from Sierra Chart you need to use this service: Sierra Chart / Trading Technologies Futures Order Routing Service You will need though to check with the particular broker you want to use to see if they do support options trading first though. ---- In regards to post #2, your issue might be related to the weekend. You definitely will be able to receive the options listings Sunday evening. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
