Does Sierra Chart data feed support trading SPY options? I cannot find a way to activate this. Thank you.

Seriously?

SPY is the most actively traded equity index in the world. Literally tens of millions of shares traded daily. Same for SPY options.

Do you have any plans to have this options data feed added to Sierra?

You can pick up new users this way. LOTS of new users.

You ask probably not the good question.
"Sierra Chart data feed" is not "trading". If you mean "SierraChart order Routing" is just for Futures trading.

But, if you use IB with Sierra Chart you have SPY, Option SPY and can trade all...

Yes, I have IB and can pull SPY index via ticker search in SC. But I cannot pull SPY options in SC for some reason.

Is there a place you can point me to that explains what ticker I need to use to display IB-fed SPY options data in SC?

I have followed the IB instructions on your website and connected it with SC. Did not find options related instructions.

IB symbol format is complex and you must correctly config TWS / IB API

You can find some exemple for options :

Hopefully, you do not have any problems with getting options data from TWS.
