Was hoping someone else would answer because I really don't know.

Can it be done? Yes, for a price. It's a real Can of Worms. . . I'm sure there would be cost involved. A poll would have to be taken to see how many are interested in it and will to pay for it. Depending on that, decide which way to go. The short term answer is "No it cannot be done." Long term, see above. This is my SWAG. Joe

Very few, if any, free sites allow portfolio tracking of options, in large part due to the cost of doing so. Also, pricing is a difficult because most options don't actively trade, and the Last Trade can be significantly outside the Bid and Ask, which themselves do not always properly reflect the market, especially with regard to market depth. Then you have the issue of constantly changing symbols, new options series being offered, expiration, and so on. So, the short answer is "no". My suggestion is to see if your broker will allow you to maintain a quote list containing options.
