Hi, What symbol do I need to enter into the SC to chart combined options trades like straddles? I'm aware of the symbol name format required to chart single options from IBKR, but I couldn't information about combined trades symbols Let's say I want to chart 0 day SPY or SPX ATM straddle price. Is there a special symbol combination to chart such trades in Sierra Chart? Or do I have to put two different symbols and calculate the sum/difference from two charts? Is there any special way to specyfy the "ATM" strike as a wildcard, rather than manually typing a particular strike price? Thanks |

You could always bring in additional data using the "Add Additional Symbol" and then Add/Subtract the charts using the "Bar Difference" and "Sum - Bar" studies (or the "Spreadsheet Formula - Bar" study). Refer to the following: Add Additional Symbol Bar Difference Sum - Bar -- You can also create custom calculated symbols using the IB symbols. But there is no way to specify a wildcard for ATM.
