I'm using TCP/IP to retrieve option chains for ticker "BAC" and I am not getting the Leap symbols "WBA". I can get them fine via COM. My request command in VB.NET is as follows:
OEA, BAC, 1, 4;

Hello digablep, sorry for the confusion (it is poorly documented). Specifying Nears overrides Leaps. To get Leaps you will want to request OEA,BAC,1,0;

Great thanks! I got it to work now.
I have another question. For underlying symbol "AAPL" I retrieve all the option symbols and notice the series "AXO". These are fixed return options (FRO) which are binary...they just started trading I guess. Is there a way to filter these out so I only receive the normal options?

There is not currently a way to filter these out.
