Quotes at option chain level

[abder]

Hi all,

I am interested to know how can I get quotes for all options for a given option chain. (ex. I request for IBM and I get all IBM options instead of asking quote option by option)?

Thank you

The eSignal Desktop API does not support retrieval of the option chain for an underlying symbol. You can obtain that information from the eSignal application.

so how can I get the desired symbols list from Esignal? Can I get it programmatically? I need only the symbols list, not the quotes!

Thanks in advance.

You cannot obtain an option chain programmatically from the Desktop API. If you enter a symbol in an eSignal quote window and then right click on it to bring up an option chain window, you will see options contracts by month.
