time and sales and options

[cush52]

I am a new e signal user, can I get time and sales on equities and or options and if so how?

Also How do I enter an option symbol so I can chart it?

Hi Cush52,

We don't store intraday history on Options so Time and Sales are not available for those issues. For Equities, simply enter in a stock and then use your right-click on the mouse to bring-up the menu. If you have access to Advanced Charting, you'll find a Time and Sales window under Advanced Charting and one under Standard Charting/Intraday History/Time and Sales.

You can also quickly pull-up a list of options for any stock in your quote window by right-clicking and choosing Option Chain.

Here's a few other links that might be helpful:

Option Symbols and Special Characters

Thanks.

Thanks for the info. Do you know if I can chart an option? If so, how do I
enter it? Thanks

Hello cush52,

Since we don't store intraday history on Options, you won't be able to pull-up a tick or interval chart on any option. When we officially release 7.5 later this week, you will be able to pull-up daily history by simply entering the option in a Quote Window or chart directly ( i.e. IBM AR (Jan90call) ). You'll need to download 7.5 in order to see these new daily option charts. Keep an eye out on this site for the official release notice.

It's also possible to open a chart window for say IBM AR and let it stay open as the market trades. The RT data will fill into the chart but once you refresh the chart or exit the program, that data will be lost.

Thanks.

Thanks, I will look at the new version as soon as I see it. I cannot figure
out how to open a time and sales chart on an stock. The help directions do
not say how to open one....they say how to manipulate things once in it but
I can't get in. One direction said to open the properties under chart
options and then check the tick tab and then check the chart or time and
sales tab for which ever one you want...there is no time and sales tab or
chart tab in this properties window...help

Did you try these instructions posted earlier?:

For Equities, simply enter in a stock and then use your right-click on the mouse to bring-up the menu. If you have access to Advanced Charting, you'll find a Time and Sales window under Advanced Charting and one under Standard Charting/Intraday History/Time and Sales.

Thanks.
