TradeStation Help
The symbology for futures option symbols is the option root followed by the month code, year code, a period plus the alias extension, a space, the put/call code and then the strike code.
The symbols used for the Order Bar and the display of data in TradeStation may differ from the symbols used for the Account: Futures window for some futures and futures options. See Futures/Futures Options Symbology Comparison for more information. You can also download the TradeStation Futures Symbol Reference, a document detailing the futures symbols that are traded on each exchange.
