Hi,

I would like to trade options using Sierra Charts but am not able to find the options chain window.

My broker is IB and I'm currently on Sierra Charts Demo version. I would like to eventually link my IB account to Sierra Charts but I only trade options.

Thanks,
Purab

There is no way to get an options chain in Sierra Chart when using Interactive Brokers. We had problems with that and removed it.

The option symbol format is documented on this page:
Interactive Brokers Symbols

Here are the set up instructions for using Sierra Chart with TWS:
