I'm trying to request currency futures options but every currency future's hasOptions property is false. What is the best method for getting a list of these options contracts. Thanks.

Options and spreads have been enabled for your account.
Now hasOptions should be true.

Thanks Ruslan. I can now see options prices. I'm curious why the pricechanged event is being fired with out a bid or ask price in the CurrentPrice. How do I see the real bid/ask?? I have subscribed to them with the subscribe() method. Am I required to use subscribeDOM for options data?

Could you please specify what contract you subscribed?
Also you could try to check this contract in OEC Trader - do you see bid/ask there?

Subscribe method is good enough to subscribe your application to any changes in price - including bis/ask prices/volumes.

Here is what happens when I print out some of the contract's info:

OEURZ1 C123: b: 0 a: 0 d: 0

Also bringing up the question, where is delta? Is this related to the same missing b/a info?

Yes, there are bids and asks in most of the options chains for OEURZ1

If you look closer at Options Chain you will notice that there are no bid/ask prices for OEURZ1 C123.
So, it is just non-liquid contract.

Please try to subscribe to something more tradeable and I'm sure you will receive bid/ask prices (OEURZ1 C135.5 for instance).

That's fair. But out of curiosity, why is it firing the onpricechanged event if the DOM hasn't changed?

Also, what about the delta info?

DOM and quotes updates come in different channels, so it's normal when price updates differently than DOM.
Please see Victor's answer in this thread for better understanding of handling price/DOM events: http://www.openecry.com/cfbb/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=601

About Delta: currently we do not provide greeks for futures options.
