I am not sure if anyone has answered your question to your satisfaction yet but I wanted to give you what I have figured out for options.
using request market data you would have something like this in c#
client.RequestMarketData(i, new Option("BAC", "BAC130720C00012000", "", RightType.Undefined, 0), some collection, false, false);

I've tried both dates, no luck.

Should '20130719' be '20130720'? I.e. 19 -> 20 to match the tws market line. (Although IB will expire the option on the 19th. Confusing.)

Oops, Tester and A1 were meant to be the same variable in the options lines, change Tester to A1 and that is what I have.

Hi there,
I've started using the Krs.Ats.IBNet software () to develop TWS software in C#.
Setting up equities is easy enough:
Equity Google = new Equity("GOOG");
client.RequestMarketData(14, Google, null, true, false);
But when I try to adapt it to options, I can't get it to work. This is what I'm using:
Option A1 = new Option("AA", "AA", "20130719", RightType.Call, 8.0m);
client.RequestMarketData(15, Tester, null, false, false);
This is what it has in its class):
public Option(string equitySymbol, string optionSymbol, string expiry,
RightType right, decimal strike)
This is the error I get when I raise e.ErrorCode:
"No security definition has been found for the request"
Does anyone know what I'm entering wrong, or just how to set up an option in C#? I also then wan't to be able to leave fields out to do things such as return all the contracts in a month, does anyone have any examples how to do this?
I'm finding that C# should be a good way to download and analyse data but don't have any documentation, I've only worked out what to do from searching through lots of the code.
Thanks for your help.
