    When are new strikes added in the August dax options? IB are showing 4900 as the highest strike but 5500 for sep.

    In that case there's something wrong with IB...

    My highest August ODAX Call is 5500 just like for September...
    But due to the fact that September is a quarterly month,you always have a wider range of strikes..
    New strikes are added to the other months going by the underlying..

    How many strikes are there between 4900-5500 in august?

    Anybody from IB want to take a look at this? I have emailed HELP but have not got a reply. Would be good if it could be fixed by tommorrow morning as I want to put some trades on.

    thanks

    What has happened to the dax options? 4850 august calls are 50 bid at 79 last trade 61.60. 21 lots bid 5 on the offer. Looks like market makers have stopped quoting leaving some ridiculous paper that would have been cancelled if it was not for the cancellation fee.

    Market maker back in 50 lots not the usual 150 spreads wider than usual.
