For IB,  this seems to work   RCQHX-CBOE-OPT for the Aug 22.5 Calls.    JOE         ----- Original Message ----- From: cstrader232 To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2006 1:57 PM Subject: Re: [amibroker] Option traders? I know I should be able to get this.  According that format, this should work, right?   C BRCM AUG 06 2250-SMART-O   But I don't think it does.  TWS shows SMART as the exchange, but perhaps that is wrong?   Is the last the "o" for option?     ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2006 1:38 PM Subject: RE: [amibroker] Option traders? In Amibroker website try this page: http://www.amibroker.com/ib.html   Part way down is this info: + plugin now accepts "O" and "OP" as type specification and treats it as "OPT" This allows to get quotes for some options that have very long symbols (exceeding 26 characters allowed by AB). For example to get DAX options use this symbols: C ODAX MAR 06 5500-DTB-O P ODAX MAR 06 5500-DTB-O (note that there are TWO spaces between 06 (year code) and 5500 (price).)   -- Terry -----Original Message----- From: amibroker@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Landry Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2006 11:14 To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [amibroker] Option traders?   You got the letters -  RCQHX is correct.  I can pull it up on IB since it gives one the choice of expiration and the strike price  but have not tried to get the coding correctly on AB.    The I ended up coding an Emini Russell futures is ER2U6-GLOBEX-FUT.   Hope this helps.
