option tracking symbols

This may indeed be another app.
I trade mostly options.
The way options are shown now is rather indirect.
Although the option symbol is shown, it would be better to show the underlying symbol.
IE: although APV is the symbol for the option, I'd be more user friendly to see AAPL.
Same FWZ for WFMI. PWQ for PRU.
It seems some are and some aren't, so perhaps that is a TD integration problem?

the description shows the option root symbol. Right now the symbol is not the same as the underlying. The industry wide option consolidation will occur between March and May (in stages), which will change the root symbols from what you are seeing now, to the underlyng symbols
