Thanks for your reply, I am after options on future micro emini - CME exchange. I am trying to resolve the following error, think i might have got the symbol in Zorro wrong !


!Error validating request.-'bW' : cause - When the local symbol field is empty, please fill the following fields (right, strike, expiry) MES-FOP-MESZ3-0.00--MES/--USD

More detail on this product is available here :https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/equities/sp/micro-e-mini-sandp-500.volume.options.html

This is doing the trick:

contractUpdate("MES-FOP----CME",0,CALL|PUT|FUTURE);

I get now:

[77: Wed 23-10-11 11:00] 4358.24/4358.24\4358.24/4358.24 -0.0
!Get Future Option Chain MES-FOP--0.00--/--USD
Chain of 7324 MES-FOP----CME contracts

Hope that helps!

Thank you so much , it is very strange it still doesn't work .. might be to do with my data permission. I will contact IB to clarify this. I appreciate your help !

Sorry , found an issue -- all sorted - thanks so much again for your help !

set(NFA);
assetList("AssetsIB");
assetAdd("MES","MES-FOP----CME");


assetAdd was causing an issue -- when i changed it to assetAdd("MES-FOP----CME"); It worked!

Cheers
