Author	Topic: Watchlist problem displaying 'strike' column (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
AMA -DTN Evangelist- Posts: 183 Joined: Aug 1, 2007	Posted: Apr 16, 2010 07:33 PM Msg. 1 of 4 Hi - I'm trying to customize/configure a watchlist for displaying equity options data and have a problem. Example/details: * open a blank watchlist * do an insert of 'Insert Equity Options' * enter 'IBM' to get a list of IBM options... * if I have the 'strike' column selected to display, it always comes up empty. ??? Would've thought it'd show the same stuff as the strike column in an options chain. i.e., '125.00' for an option having a strike of '$125.00' All of the other columns I've selected come up fine, with valid data/info... So, a code bug or am I missing something here??

I am having problems duplicating this issue. When I go through the following: Open the Blank Default watchlist Add the strike price column Right-click in a cell and choose insert equity options Type in IBM Choose near options Click ok. Strike price fills in fine for me with the above steps. I also tried it with adding the strike price column after the options were inserted rather than before.

Might have had to do with invalid options symbols being imported into the watchlist, resulting in a messed up display. I was doing this after market close on Friday options expiration day(technically Saturday, tho) and it -may- be that the import wasn't working correctly because of the expiration. Very vague on this, as right after I posted the problem, I figured out a work around and went on with what I was doing. Sorry I can't be more help...
