How can i get an option contract's price so i can configure a stoplimit order and position size?
I tried with the contract returned by the method AddOptionContract(), but the Price property is always 0 (but not when i send the order).
Thanks

Hi Moises,
The Price property should work. But, without additional information, I'm unsure why the return is 0. Could you please share a backtest or code snippet?
With that said, I guess this community post is relevant to your question. Please check it out, especially Jing's first answer:
"If placing orders after self.AddOptionContract(symbol) instantly, that contract was just being subscribed the price is still zero. That's the error you see in the Log. To correct this algorithm, you should wait until next time step to trade the contract which was added in the last time step."
I hope this helps! Otherwise, please feel free to share your backtest so that I can help you further.
