I am trying to view the following weekly CME options:
http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/equity-index/us-index/e-mini-sandp500_quotes_globex_options.html?optionProductId=2915#optionProductId=2915

I am using the symbol format as described on this page:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/CQGTrading.php#OptionsSymbolFormat

The symbol I am trying is (Week 3 options)
C.US.EV3U1724800

I will receive symbol error for this. So what is the problem ?

I can view normal american options without any problems (for example C.US.EPU1724800)

The latest versions of Sierra Chart support getting the option symbols for an underlying futures contract directly from CQG. We will prepare documentation for that later today.

Great!

I am expecting you to publish this new documentation on here:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/CQGTrading.php

If not then please post a correct link in this thread.

btw.
After upgrading into the latest version I went to the "Find Symbol" window where I searched the underlying instrument and pressed "Get Options" button. Now I have the correct option symbols directly in Sierra !
