Stock options quotes

[SergeyKlyuev]

Hi,

What should I do to FM retrieve prices of stock options?
For now I've done the following:

In Options/Internet Settings set Yahoo and Yahoo (Hystorical).
As option symbol copied symbols from Yahoo.
F.E. for QQQ 60 CALL Jan-14 symbol is QQQ140118C00060000.

Stock prices are updated correctly.

Thank you,
Sergey

I see that if I retrieve prices as "Prices" (not "Hystorical Prices") option quotes are retrieving but not all of them: some missed.

Hi Sergey,

You'll want to make sure to set your option investments to retrieve from "Yahoo (Options)", and not "Yahoo". Record the symbol as you've found on the Yahoo website (QQQ140118C00060000). Set the quote server for this investment under "Investment Properties... / Internet Retrieve". You can set the defaults for all your option investments to default to this Yahoo (Options) by going to "Options / Internet Settings / New Investment Defaults...". By default, option investments are set up to retrieve from Yahoo (Options), so it is important when creating a new investment to make sure it is assigned to the correct investment type.
