"I just wanted to say how happy I am with your service. I was able to download the API docs last week and I was able to replicate Interactive Brokers historical bar queries and realtime bar queries over the weekend. That was about one of the fastest integrations that I've ever done and it works perfectly!!!!" - Comment from Jason via Email

"Can I get another account from you? I am tired of ******* going down so often" - Comment from George

"Version 4.0.0.2 has been working well for me and I appreciate that it is now a much tighter client to work with. I feel I can go to press with my own application and rely on a stable platform" - Comment from David in IA.

"I was on the phone with a friend who uses CQG and right after the Fed announcement, CQG was as much as 30 seconds behind DTN.IQ. Some quotes were off by as much as 15-18 cents. Your feed never missed a beat." - Comment from Roger

"Everything is working great with the API. I love it." - Comment from Calvin

Author	Topic: Futures Options symbol construction (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
BigRunningBack -Interested User- Posts: 2 Joined: Oct 12, 2019	Posted: Oct 12, 2019 12:26 PM Msg. 1 of 4 Hello, I must be creating the symbols for CME Euro FX options incorrectly, as I am not getting a single price quote for any option I try to capture. I am going for ATM and nearest OTM calls and puts. For example: @EUZ19P11100 - this is the CME EuroFx futures option December 2019 expiration put strike 1.1100 @EUZ19C11200 - this is the CME EuroFx futures option Decemnber 2019 expiration call strike 1.1200 etc etc Am I constructing these options symbols correctly? Does iqFeed provide quotes for options on futures? I believe the answer to both is Yes but I never ever receive a single price quote for ANY futures option. What am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Richard

I'm finding option symbols for: @JPUJ20P9300 JPY/USD PREMIUM SYLE 2PM FIX APRIL 2020 PUT 9300 @GBUJ20C12400 GBP/USD PREMIUM STYLE 2 PM FIX APRIL 2020 CALL 12400 By the way, I was able to locate these with the IQFeed.net symbol lookup tool at: http://iqfeed.net/symbolguide/index.cfm?symbolguide=lookup&displayaction=support§ion=guide&web=iqfeed Sincerely, Gary Stephen DTN IQFeed Implementation Support Specialist
