Most of the IQFeed options symbol format from the option chain lookup API is self-explanatory, but there is one piece that I can't figure out.
Here are some option chain symbols for MSFT: MSFT1221A15 (January lookup, is a call) MSFT1119K18 (November lookup, is a call) MSFT1221M21 (January lookup, is a put) MSFT1119W21 (November lookup, is a put) What is the third to last character in the symbols? In these symbols alone, I see four values (A, K, M, W). I also saw reference to 'G' while searching the forums. Is there a definitive list of these along with an explanation? -Joe |

Joe, that is the Month/Put/Call code. For more information about the Index/Equity Options Symbology, take a look at the following page:
