The Sierra Chart symbol format for Interactive Brokers is a hyphen separated text string consisting of the different parts of an Interactive Brokers contract structure. So each part of the symbol, is passed to a different contract member and these are all documented here: Interactive Brokers Symbols Therefore, this is not really true: They do not comment on symbol format regarding Third Party software since there are hundreds of TP's and each gathers symbols in their own proprietary way. So its down to Sierra software engineering mostly to tell us the format Sierra requires It is fully Interactive Brokers responsibility to help you with this and then you take the information that they give you, and look at the Sierra Chart Interactive Brokers symbol format and assemble the symbol on your own. So in the end, this difficulty was the result of Interactive Brokers not giving you good proper information assuming they were giving you the wrong strike price. If you need help with the information from Interactive Brokers and how to create a Sierra Chart formatted symbol from it, we can do that.
