Hi, I have a peculiar situation where I am unable to buy or sell micro Nasdaq futures PUT options. The same symbol as a CALL works fine. The e-mini Nasdaq puts work fine. Only the micro Nasdaq PUTs do not work. I do not know yet if this specific contract works in non-simulation mode, because I do not want to place a trade I really don't want. But I was able to place trades today for PUT micro contracts just fine, just on another symbol. So I suspect this is a simulation mode issue. Please note: I am changing NOTHING in my setup except the symbol for the Trade DOM. Data Service is CQG. P.US.QA41Q2419680 : Works (e-mini) P.US.MQE41Q2419680 : Does NOT work (micro) C.US.MQE41Q2419680 : Works (micro, same contract but call) When I say 'Works' I mean that I can place a trade (Buy at Ask / Sell at Bid). In the non-working case, even if I place a market order it never fills .. no orders fill. I'm on version 2646. |

In the case of simulated trading for options most likely issues relate to bid/ask data.
