Hi All,
I noticed the other day in my main algo that options for BRK.B was not buying at all but other stocks were. so I created a chchopped-downopped down algo as can be seen below to illustrate.
It seems that any time you enter BRK.B into the OptionChainProvider it will never ever return a list of options contracts. I have also tested to see if it was just a ticker issue by using create symbol, but this was not the case, it still doesn't work.
Please take a look

Just noticed that this is not confined to BRK.B it also doesnt work on IVV, VOO, VTI and I have found others in my travels, I think this may be an issue that is not just confined to BRK.B
