Quote: Hi I wonder if I can get the trade and size of a each strike price call and Put ( for the entire chain), because I dont see any specific function to call for the trade information once I recieve the chain.
One last thing, Is there a way to recieve historical Tick by tick information for an entire chain of an option Symbol?
I'll look forward to your reply
Merry Christmas
Best,

The chain lookup is simply a lookup method to get the option symbols for an underlying equity. You would then request quotes on those symbols to get the trade and size for each contract.
Historical tick information is available for each option contact, but again, you need to request them individually after using the chain lookup to get the symbols.
In our DTN.IQ client, it works the same way, and I am able to get current/streaming quote data to fill in on all QQQQ options in a couple seconds.
