I wanted to trade an option on the british pound futures. The symbol in Rithmic is: 6BU3 P1510.CME It's a 1.51 Strike put expiring Sept 6, 2013. I tried entering 6BU3-P1510-CME 6BU3P1510-CME but SC wasn't able to find the symbol. What is the correct way to view the chart for this symbol? --- Also this is one case where I have to run R|Trader side by side with SC because I don't know where to find the option symbol names in SC. It would useful if SC could have a window that shows all the options like they do in R|Trader and most other platforms (see attached) |

This would be the symbol format to use: 6BU3 P1510-CME One thing you need to be certain of is to determine how many spaces between the 3 and P. You need to verify how many spaces there should be. You may want to try 2 spaces or more. We will see about getting list of options from Rithmic to choose a symbol from. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

What this means is that there is no historical data being provided for the option symbol. Data received in real-time will be charted though.
