Loop through option chain

Loop through option chain - 01/29/21 03:04

Greetings,

I'm trying to loop through every contract in a chain for a given bar.

Code

void run()
{
    	// load today's contract chain
	if(!contractUpdate(Asset,0,CALL|PUT)) return;
	
	int i;
	for (i = 0; i <= NumContracts; i++)
	{
		CONTRACT* C = &Contracts[i];
		
		contractPrice(C);

		printf("\n%f",ContractAsk);
	}

}

This just prints 0.00000. I've already confirmed my .t8 file contains the chain data by exporting to CSV and munally checking.

What is the proper way to iterate through the options chain?

Per usual immediately after posting a question, I sorted it. Need to select the contract first so can do it a few ways

Code

	int i;
	for (i = 1; i <= NumContracts; i++)
	{
		
		contract(i);
		
		printf("\n%f - %f",ContractBid,ContractAsk);
	}

Code

	int i;
	for (i = 0; i < NumContracts; i++)
	{
		CONTRACT* C = &Contracts[i];
		
		contract(C);
		
		printf("\n%f - %f",ContractBid,ContractAsk);
	}
