Did anybody try to trade futures option?

I am using C++ application and able to trade futures and stocks, however I have difficulties with trading futures options. An error I am getting is that currency is not specified, but I am specifying it.


Properties identified in my code:

VOrder.orderId

NewContract.symbol

VOrder.action

VOrder.totalQuantity

NewContract.secType

NewContract.expiry

NewContract.exchange

VOrder.orderType

NewContract.currency

VOrder.lmtPrice

NewContract.right

NewContract.strike


I did not find a property of a contract object to specify trading class of a futures option (EC, XT etc).


How to execute an option or future option prior to maturity?


Thank you.
