Why SimNow Does Not Return Standard Arbitrage Contracts

Summary

A user reports that the CTP interface can retrieve standard arbitrage contracts for Zhengzhou and Dalian exchanges but cannot find the corresponding contracts for the Guangzhou Futures Exchange. A community reply explains that these contracts are available in the live trading environment and are not provided by SimNow, the simulated environment.

The practical lesson is that a missing contract in this query may reflect the data or contract coverage of the simulation service rather than an interface configuration problem. The post offers no technical troubleshooting steps or details about contract identifiers, API versions, or account permissions. Its answer is limited to the distinction between live and simulated environments, so users would need to confirm current exchange and broker support separately.

Key ideas

  • The reported issue concerns missing Guangzhou Futures Exchange standard arbitrage contracts through CTP.
  • The reply attributes their absence to SimNow not providing those contracts.
  • The contracts are said to be available in a live trading environment.
  • The discussion gives no API-level troubleshooting details or broader coverage guarantees.
