Working with Options Instruments

Adding multiple instruments

You can add several options instruments to the QSS 2.0 display at one time:

2.  Press Ctrl+ENTER.

QSS 2.0 displays, in order of strike value:

      specified instrument

      N instruments with the nearest strikes that are lower than the strike of the specified instrument

      N instruments with the nearest strikes that are greater than the strike of the specified instrument

Options preferences

QSS 2.0 includes options preferences specific to QSS 2.0 and that apply to all options on the monitor. To open preferences, right-click the options cell, then click Options Preferences. You can open options preferences even if there are no options on QSS 2.0.

QSS 2.0 general preferences and QSS 2.0 options parameters are independent of each other.

Preferences use default values until changed.

Copying to Excel

When data is copied from QSS 2.0 to Excel, options parameters are ignored. Note: RTD does not currently support options parameters.
