When using this Method, where can I find a list of Future Options symbols. For instance, I know what the symbology is for the ES options symbols however, using the sample application, I am getting nothing returned. I have tried E, ES, @ES, @ES#, @ESM13, @E, @EW, etc.
The same question applies to looking up SPX Index Option Chains.
Thanks

When requesting future option chains, use the future root (@ES in your example) as the symbol.
In the example apps, make sure you have Future Options selected, Puts/Calls checked, a current year (if it lets you set one), and either a group of months or the near months checked.
For index/equity options, use the full symbol (SPX.XO) for the symbol.
