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
