Listing Options from All Expirations

To view all calls and puts from all expiration months, use the following syntax:

images/aspen00000295.gif

To view all S & P calls from all expiration months, enter

SP@@C

where SP is the symbol root, the first @ specifies a list of all expiration months, the second @ specifies a list of all strikes, and C specifies calls. For stock options, you do the same thing,

IBM@@C

Using this same syntax, you can also view calls and puts with the expansion macro by entering CP after the @. You can only use CP with the expansion macro. For example, to view all S & P calls and puts from the all expiration months, you would type SP@@CP and press <Enter>. Your Omacro page contains many of these examples. Additional examples are available on your Omacro1 page.
