Looking at your previous response above "Most likely the error is related to the symbol settings not existing." Does this mean that explicitly using the symbol name alone (NewOrder.Symbol = "SPY-OPT-20190520-283-C-SMART-100-USD";) is not sufficient? it also has to be defined in the symbol setting xml database? If this is the answer - can this then be specified using the "use pattern matching character option"? For example, SPY-OPT-20190522-283-C-SMART-100-USD => SPY-OPT-########-###-?-SMART-100-USD and SPY-OPT-20190522-269.5-P-SMART-100-USD => SPY-OPT-########-###*#-?-SMART-100-USD I certainly hope that's the case so that each option in the option chain does not have to be individually defined in the symbol setting xml data base.
