Limiting Option Lists

If you use large fonts in your quote windows, you may find listing all options with the expansion macro is not useful because you run out of room. In such circumstances, you can get around space limiting expansion. A delimited macro enables you to specify the length of the listing produced by the macro. For example, you can delimit a macro as follows:

SP@C5

Limiting expansion in this way lists the five options closest to the money in the lead month contract. Basically, this macro says, “give me a list of S&P options on the lead-month contract, but limit the list to five strikes.”
