Hello,

I am trying to plot the options I trade and instead of seeing them in IB then I can see them in SC with the instrument I trade (I also do this in TOS). Is there a way to chart options? - Sc is a far better-charting program then IB or TOS and I wish to chart options here as well

FYI, options for futures doesn't also work as per the method described in Real-Time Exchange Data Feeds Available From Sierra Chart: Futures Options

I use SC All data

Thank you

If you need futures options, install another copy of Sierra Chart following these instructions:

Regarding options data from interactive brokers, we cannot help with those.

Thanks, I will try this but these instructions for future options didn't work on my current Sc copy. will install a new one but I am not sure if this makes a difference but will try.

As for the data with IB, I am not looking to use it. Simply, does stokes and ETF options data available from SC?
