i´ve read in your faq this :
I’m getting “Action not supported for instrument status” (or "Trading suspended"). What does it mean?
Market closed: an order was sent between trading sessions or at maintenance period. Normally maintenance period on workdays is 17:30 – 18:00 EST

my question is , is there any event or property in which i can see the market status or contract status before sending an order.
thanks
