Options Instruments

Hello,

I am connected to Interactive Brokers (IB) and <u>can</u> download stock instruments.

IB uses SMART routing to obtain quotes and transact stock options trades across 13 different boards.

Thus, although it is possible to designate 1 board (for example: CBOE), it is desirable to designate SMART.

Would you tell me please how to add options instruments (CALLs and PUTs) for IB. I have searched the S# Data documentation and am unable to find instructions.

Thank you very much,

Craig

Thank you very much. This worked. I had mistakenly tried to specify the options contract as a type of Derivative. Instead, following your instructions, I specified "Type=option" under the <General> tab
