Hello, new user and cannot easily find options on futures. In particular lets start with:

Crude oil (WTI) June 2013 Call - 120Strike.
There is about 30,000 open interest on this call and about 60 contracts traded on friday. I would like to find the symbol for this please.

As I am new I am just unfamiliar with the symbol structure so once I get this one I should be able to figure out others.

Cheers.

the symbol is QCM13C12000

We do have our symbol Lookup on our web site www.iqfeed.net or the the symbol Guide on the same site.
You can also contact our support department on that site or send a email to our support department at support@iqfeed.net

Hey LorenF,

I tried entering it though multicharts manually and there is no data.

I then searched the symbol lookup on your site with QCM for the search string under name/description or symbol but it says that no records exist.

I must be doing something wrong...

I missed a letter in the list it should have been QCLM13C12000

in the Multi charts: Go to the quote manager, add symbol, by Data source, IQfeed
select options and the catagory is Future options.
Then put in the Symbol bos QCLM13C12000
There will be a list below to choose from.
Select add, press ok and close
it will be in your symbol list.
