Matt,
If you are connecting to the Marketcetera simulated data feed, then
the data you get back is essentially random/canned data, and there's
no correspondence between the strike price that you get back and the
+XY option code that you get back.
Sorry for the confusion. You should just work off the strike price and
expiry month that come in their own respective fields as part of the
market data you get back.
To answer your 2nd question, no, we only support options as the
SecurityType for DerivativeListRequest.
hope this helps
