0 Jerry Medved Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 MT symbol format for options is .TSLA_160115P250 so if you add it in the portfolio, that is what you would see. In the current option chain selector, we show "TSLA JAN 15 2016 P 250.00". In an option chain, we probably will do something similar to QT, where we didn't show the symbol at all Quote
0 Saty Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Posted September 16, 2015 "In an option chain, we probably will do something similar to QT, where we didn't show the symbol at all " In QT, I see the ticker symbols in the option chain like this one copied from QT now. : SNDK JAN 15 2016 45.0 PUT Quote
0 Jerry Medved Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 ?? No you don't. Option chain in QT does not show symbols. If you drag the entry to a portfolio or right click on something where a symbol is shown, then yes, but the chain itself does not show symbols Quote
0 Saty Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Posted September 16, 2015 I confused something ...... now it is cleared. Thank you... Quote
