If you’re using the Portfolio Manager to manage your options, you will have to delete all your strikes and re-enter them. I would recommend that instead of re-entering them, that you use the new options export utility which is much more user friendly and much less time consuming.
From within the Export Options Data tool ( Ctrl-O ):
- Click the Clear Selections button to temporarily clear the list of option markets that you’re tracking
- Check ALL the items from the above table that you’re interested in tracking
- Click the Build Selected Option Files button
- When this process has completed, click the Restore button to reselect your markets
- Keep your files updated with the Auto Update feature
