We know that you wanted remote support for this, but we hesitate to get involved in that because we cannot know specifically what the right options symbol format is. This is controlled by Interactive Brokers.

And potentially it is a trial and error process also requiring us to access information through your Trader Workstation which you are going to know better than we are. So we would rather just you work on this using the information that we provide and also contact Interactive Brokers for help in combination with our documentation.

Here is more information which may be helpful:

If you need further help when you encounter a symbol error with particular options symbol, we need to see a copy of the Message Log:

Often in the past, both Interactive Brokers and our own users, have been more helpful on this subject than sometimes we are able to.
