Option Symbol from Schwab

[Ilikemybu]

Hi Mark,

It seems the symbol for options as downloaded from Schwab, has 3 spaces after the underlying equity symbol, for example "JPM 240719C00220000". Anyway to address this?

thx Dave

Hi Dave,

Is the issue you're asking about that Yahoo's symbols don't have this space, and you want them to be the same (without you having to manually change them), so you can retrieve pricing for these from Yahoo? If so, this should work as is today. When retrieving prices from Yahoo, FM will remove any spaces from the symbol before making the request from Yahoo. So, it is fine to leave the space in the symbol. You can edit it if you'd like, but it isn't necessary.

I didn't think it retrieved prices until I removed the spaces. JPM 240719C00220000. Other ones seem to work with the spaces but not this one.
