    Do it just like you would a stock except use the option symbol and for the quantity use (# of contracts * multiplier).  The multiplier for equities in 100.  It will be different if you're using futures for example.  So for example, if you Buy To Open 1 contract of AAPL call at $5 then you would enter 100 for the quantity and $5 for the price.

    Couple of pieces of advice.  If you're doing a lot of options trading your securities list can fill up quickly so use a naming convention for your options that allows you to quickly find them and then hide them after they have expired.
