I've tried searching around for an answer to this, but I've yet to find anything. When I get the option chain for a stock and then request historical data for the options, the symbols with whole strike prices work fine. But options with strike prices such as 25.50 fail with "Invalid symbol". How should I be requesting this information?

Can you give me the underlying stock symbol that you are using and, if you would, email me your ID so I can see what you are connecting to our server with.?

the email address is support@iqfeed.net
