Hi, is there a way to identify options that are weekly vs the regular monthly-type or LEAP options by their symbol name? Thank you

Not by the name, but the "include non-standard options" setting of Option Chains lets you exclude weekly options. "Non-standard" basically means weekly.

I believe that the "Include Non-Standard" parameter controls inclusion/exclusion of binary options as well as weekly options. I'm not aware of a way to exclude only weekly options without also excluding binary options. This is of course a moot point in case the specified underlying has no binary options.

Note: as far as I know, weekly options are excluded by default only with IQFeed client 6.1 or newer, whereas binary options are excluded by default on older clients as well.
