Post From: FUTURE OPTIONS CME

hi guys,

I recently started to have a look at the data provided for Future Options, on the NQ. Symbols such as "QN4N24 P19900.FUT_OPT.CME" for today's EOD PUT on 19900 strike.

questions :
- when i retreive data through a quoteboard i can see some volumes, but when i retrieve the same symbol throught a chart, i can't see any volume, is that normal ?
- when i capture the quoteboard data every 5 minutes, i would see some volume disapearing on certain symboles, is that normal ?
- there is no Bid volume or Ask volume at all, is that normal ?
- i can see the NumTrade numbers increasing a lot on some options => are these due to the number of time the bid/ask quotes are being updated ?
- time&Sale seems to show data about the depth of market on each symbols, but these seems to be very unstable, are the "bid size" and "ask size" data reliable ?
- as Sierra does not provide any documentation on Options data provided, are these data reliable at all ?

thanks a lot for your answers
