Is there a particular reason why format of option tickers changes so regularly ? I've used Fyers api for a little over a year and I have seen so many changes. I'll demonstrate with an example Take for example a nifty call option for strike price 18000, expiring on 7 Oct 2022. 1) NIFTY22100718000CE 2) NIFTY22O0718000CE 3) NIFTY2210718000CE Plus, there's a different format for the monthly expiries: 1) NIFTY22OCT18000CE 2) NIFTY22O18000CE I know that brokers are not the ones making these ridiculous naming formats but it makes making a stable algorithm really difficult when you cannot stick to naming convention.
