2 questions: 1) can we plot an option in a chart? 2) I added a second log in, should I be able to get intraday and historical data? Right now when I open a new chart, I seem to only get an intraday chart as it builds? Cant get data on the chart going back? Thanks Tom |

1. We see you are using TD Ameritrade. You can try. The stock-option format is explained here: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/AmeriTrade.php#SetupInstructions 2. You will definitely get historical data. If there is any missing data, then follow through the instructions here: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/HistoricalIntradayData.html#RetryDownloadDataInChart Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

I followed the instructions and am trying to load this option like your example: UVXY, Apr 28, 2017, 20 Call This is the symbol right from TD Ameritrade: .UVXY170428C20 I have tried loading the symbol in both formats, and I get download failed? Thoughts? Thanks Tom |

In our experience, this is what happens. It is not something we can help with. The data comes from TD Ameritrade. You really need to use Interactive Brokers for options data.
