I'd like to develop some tool that requires option prices in real time. Does Wealth-Lab Pro support their real-time streaming?

How to feed my tool with Real Time Option Prices?

Hello,

Firstly, let me note that multiple account registration is not appreciated. In our website's Terms of Use (that you accepted when signing up) this is clearly restricted: "You are not allowed more than one active Wealth-Lab account (i.e. a Wealth-Lab account accessible by a functioning username and password)." Kindly use the original account, thanks.

Sorry, I don't know for sure but you might want to find it out by contacting your Fidelity rep.

There is no API for that. Distribution of Fidelity data and/or hacking your way through the data feed's internals is not endorsed. Basically, if you do this you'll not be supported.

Just recently we found that you can request a current (not expired) option contract in WLP using this format:

(starts with a hyphen) -SYMBOLyyMMddC123,

where SYMBOL is the underlying symbol, yyMMdd is the ex-date, C for Call or P for put, and 123 is the strike

Example for the SPY 215 call expiring on 12/16/2016: -SPY161216C215

For more information and code, take a look at this thread:
