How Do You Decode a GLDM OCC Option Symbol?
A GLDM-specific OCC symbol parsing example for developers and data workflows.
Decode a GLDM OCC option symbol the same way as other OCC symbols: root GLDM, six-digit expiration, C or P, and eight-digit strike in thousandths. Example: GLDM 260618C00065000 means GLDM, June 18 2026, call, 65.00 strike.
Root
GLDM
ETF root, often padded in fixed-width examples.
Example date
June 18, 2026
Encoded as 260618.
Example strike
65.00
00065000 divided by 1,000.
GLDM example parse
The root is GLDM, then the expiration block is 260618. The option type character C means call. The strike field 00065000 becomes 65.00 after dividing by 1,000.
The same parser should also accept a compact form without root padding. That matters when examples come from multiple vendors, broker exports, or API responses.
