How to Add Call Options to a Watch List
I've no problem tracking actual purchases / sales of options but am having trouble adding possible candidates which I'd like to track, to the Watch List. Any help would be appreciated.

Is the problem that the prices do not download?
If that is the issue, it is because Quicken gets prices for Watch List securities from a 3rd party quote provider and the feed for option prices is apparently broken. When you own the options and your brokerage is set up for transaction downloading, the prices come from the broker.

Yes, the prices do not download and the explanation of broken links from a 3rd party makes sense. Thank to you and NotACPA for the quick responses.
