I am trying to collect a list of exchanges that trade options or future options priced in cents/pence instead of dollars/pounds.
I have found issues when placing orders for options and future options meeting this criteria and had to implement fixes.
A short list of options and future options meeting this criteria is: options trading at the LSE/ICEEU (examples: Z, GSK, GLEN) and future options trading at the ECBOT (examples: ZC, ZW)
For these options and future options, the strike price format must not conflict with the strike price information available in other Contract fields like the local symbol or else the order is rejected with the following (undocumented) error:
478 | Parameters in request conflicts with contract parameters received by contract id: requested strike 1300.0, in contract 13.0;
By collecting a list of exchanges where these options and future options are trading, I will be able to program around most of these special cases.
I am aware that the price magnifier information available in ContractDetails should help knowing if an option or option contract meets the criteria but I would prefer not to request contract details information to avoid delays when placing orders.
Looking for input from users who are aware of these types of options and future options.
Thank you.
