"If you are serious about your trading I would not rely on IB data for serious daytrading. Took me a while to justify the cost of IQ Feed and in the end, it's just a 2 point stop on ES. Better safe than sorry" - Comment from Public Forum
"I am a hedge fund manager here. It’s funny, I have a Bloomberg terminal and a Bridge feed, but I still like having my DTN feed!" - Comment from Feras
"I ran your IQFeed DDE vs. my broker vs. a level II window for some slow-moving options. I would see the level II quote change, then your feed update instantaneously. My broker's DDE, however, would take as much as 30 seconds to update. I am not chasing milliseconds, but half a minute is unacceptable." - Comment from Rob

Hi, is there a way to identify options that are weekly vs the regular monthly-type or LEAP options by their symbol name? Thank you

Not by the name, but the "include non-standard options" setting of Option Chains lets you exclude weekly options. "Non-standard" basically means weekly.

I believe that the "Include Non-Standard" parameter controls inclusion/exclusion of binary options as well as weekly options. I'm not aware of a way to exclude only weekly options without also excluding binary options. This is of course a moot point in case the specified underlying has no binary options.

Note: as far as I know, weekly options are excluded by default only with IQFeed client 6.1 or newer, whereas binary options are excluded by default on older clients as well.
