Hi all,
My code seems to be fine when doing backtests and live trading.
Unfortunately, when my code should give a trade order in live trading, I don't buy an option because there are no option chains. When I do a backtest the day after, I don't have an option chain available.
Is there any explaination for this why I can't get actual option chains? Has this to do with warming up or something?
I prefer not sharing my code if I don't have to.

Hi Alex,
We don't currently have an Equity Options live data feed. To trade Equity Options live, we need to use the IB or Tradier data feeds.
Best,

Thanks Derek,
For the backtests I solved it with a self.History in chains.
For live trading I changed data source to IB instead of QC. Let's wait for a order now :)
