Options with Truncated Strike Prices
A subset of options on futures have truncated strike prices in the market data Security Definition message.
CME Group strongly encourages clients to use tag 202-StrikePrice to determine the strike price. However, the strike price in tag 202 for options on 2-Year T-Note futures is also truncated. For these products only, client systems using tag 202-StrikePrice must determine the full strike price by postpending "5" when the value in tag 202 ends in the numbers "2" or "7".
