Hello,

Thank you for the question.

I wanted to clarify, are you asking how to change an option or parameter in a strategy or if NinjaTrader supports Option symbols?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

I want to buy AAPL (for instance) and sell an CALL on it (or a PUT) for a specific exercise date. Or buy a CALL and sell a out of money CALL.

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

These would not be default options in NinjaTrader that could be used, the logic and theory behind this could potentially be developed into a NinjaScript strategy to calculate and place orders when needed.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

So , It is possible but I had to treat the option chain (for a particular intrument each) , there is no special treatment for a option series on NT which could save time developing by make it easier to program.

for instance,
In this way, we would need to ADD every option manually, each by each, name by name.

Hello,

Yes any logic you want for the orders would need to be done problematically using NinjaScript. There is no base logic included to preform specific trading actions, mainly just a framework in place that allows you to create whatever logic is needed.

Please let me know if i may be of further assistance.
