When your parameter (alpha) is on the scale of 1e13, then a difference of 1e-7 will be far too small to get an accurate finite-difference derivative estimate. What might be happening is that the derivative estimate for the first parameter may appear flat:

Thank you Steve,
I will do that, but would you please help me about setting option parameters?
