We do not have any options data for U.S. Equities, so there is no data for SPX options. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Hi John, actually I can get SPX and all options data through IB in Sierra and do trade options through Sierra. The only issue, which I'm hoping you can help with, is I am not able to use limit orders with SPX options. Meaning I can make market orders for SPX options only. Options on equities are no problem- I can trade them through the DOM as expected. Any suggestions? Thanks

Here is the relevant trade log information. The first ones are limit orders that get rejected.

The error is telling us that the "Tick Size" is not set appropriate for that option. What is the "Tick Size" you have set for that option? And do you know what the Tick Size should be for it?

Yes, you've found the issue. I just changed the chart to auto set the tick size from the data field. It's .05 for SPX. It's working as expected now. Thank you so much!
