I found 1185 and 1195 puts and calls for Nov, but nothing for Dec (expiring the first friday next week). Also there are no quotes for the Nov contracts.

Another interesting note. I have an institutional and personal account with IB. The Inst acct showed the contracts while the pers acct does not.

It's the first day and this is IB...

I sent off an email to tech. I am sure they will adjust over the weekend or on Monday.

As to the contract quotes, I didn't see a 1200 either. No idea as to the rest...

In that case weekly for OEX will begin with R? Thanks

notice that OEX spread is much better , 50 cents vs. SPX 2$ , while the stock price is only double

Dear Trader,

Currently we are working to provide this product to all of our traders,
but due to system constraints not all traders can access this product.
We should have this issue resolved and fully functional by early
next week. IB apologizes for any inconvenience that this may have
caused you in this case.

Regards,

John W

Thanks for the info.

I see definite uses for these contracts. I'm sure IB will have everything resolved soon.

I saw no quotes on the 1195 or 1185 puts or calls today.

I saw both and tried to sell an 1195 towards the end of the day but IB said it couldn't value the contracts and rejected the order.

I tried this on IB TWS but it didnt work. I only can bring up the monthly options for dec , but nothing in nov comes up.

You have to use the beta browser right now. It's not enabled for anything else.

Sucks I know but there it is...
