"With HUGE volume on AAPL and RIMM for 2 days, everyone in a trading room was whining about freezes, crashes and lag with *******, RealTick, TS and Cyber. InvestorRT with IQFeed was rock solid. I mean SOLID!" - Comment from Public IRC Chat

"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam

Author	Topic: Futures Options (5 messages, Page 1 of 1)
Mobiius -Interested User- Posts: 15 Joined: Mar 24, 2013	Posted: Mar 25, 2013 12:01 AM Msg. 1 of 5 Hello, new user and cannot easily find options on futures. In particular lets start with: Crude oil (WTI) June 2013 Call - 120Strike. There is about 30,000 open interest on this call and about 60 contracts traded on friday. I would like to find the symbol for this please. As I am new I am just unfamiliar with the symbol structure so once I get this one I should be able to figure out others. Cheers.

I then searched the symbol lookup on your site with QCM for the search string under name/description or symbol but it says that no records exist. I must be doing something wrong...
