By default, the Terminal loads a ticker using <a href="https://developer.tradier.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tradier</a> as the source. Sign up for a free developer account and then enter that token using the <a href="/terminal/guides/advanced/api-keys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">`Keys menu`</a>. Alternatively, there is a choice to use yFinance data sets by attaching the argument as shown below. Help dialogues are displayed for any command by adding `-h` to the string. It is worth noting that this load command is different than the load command elsewhere.

### Submenus Available
At the bottom of the menu, and near the top, there are items prefaced with `>`. Like everywhere else in the OpenBB Terminal, this indicates the presence of a submenu.
- `screen` is a dedicated options screener that uses `.ini` files from the local installation folder `/OpenBBUserData/stocks/presets/options/`. Refer to the Options Screener guide <a href="/terminal/guides/intros/stocks/options/screener" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.
- `pricing` is another method for calculating options prices. See the guide for this submenu <a href="/terminal/guides/intros/stocks/options/pricing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.
- `hedge` is a group of features for calculating a delta-neutral position. The guide for this submenu is located <a href="/terminal/guides/intros/stocks/options/hedge" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.
