Wrong order of the date in TOS

[greko6]

Hello,

Great library!

You have the wrong order of the option. Instead {dd}{mm}{yy}, it should be: {yy}{mm}{dd} for ThinkOrSwim (and potentially TDA?).
Example that works in TOS: .PYPL231027P57, (not: .PYPL271023P57)

polygon/polygon/options/options.py

Line 12 in 78c33dd

'tos': '.{symbol}{mm}{dd}{yy}{_type}{strike}.{strike_dec}',

Just letting you know!

Thanks @greko6

Interesting. The above format was given to me by some folks who used TOS and TDA.
Would you mind joining the discord server to show a few examples from the TOS UI (or thinkScript)

(or share them here if you prefer)

Sure! Here are a few screenshots from TOS:

Thanks @greko6
appreciate it. Haven't had much time recently so sorry for the delays :D

For TDA API, the current format is correct (that's mentioned in their developer documentation). I'll try to cross verify the TOS format and then make a change in lib if required.

Till then, you can simply use the OptionSymbol object to access relevant data (and format to any format that you prefer)

I might actually add ability to pass in a format string which will be used for a custom formatting.

I've decided to make this change in the next release, as I could not find any pressing resource in favor of the current structure. Will be released today. Thanks for bringing this up @greko6

I will add this structure as tos1 so that both the structures are allowed to be used because I'm sure there was a reason why the current structure was used
