Historical option premium prices

Discussion in 'Options' started by ChadsMach1, Apr 19, 2014.

  1. I am jumping out of the world of stock trading and into options. I have opened a account with Options House but not yet started trading. Using their platform, I am able to see prices, but starting every Saturday, I am unable to see last weeks historical prices. I was just looking at them last night. Is there a way to do this in Options House?

    There may be a better way to do what I am asking that I am just not sure about. Possibly somewhere out on the Internet (maybe Yahoo Finance)? For example, I want to know what the premium for a NFLX 325 weekly CALL on 4/14/2014 at 3:30pm was? What is the best way for me to research this? As I mentioned earlier, I was able to look this up on Options House just yesterday, but today, its no longer showing as a option.

    Thanks in advance.

    If you have $25,000 or more, you will have access to the API, but sample programs are hard to come by. Email support and ask if they offer historical.

    In interactivebrokers TWS you can chart option premium. Right click on strike and choose chart.

    I'm writing Perl wrappers around their API now. It is pretty rich for doing transactions and pulling account info and good for doing current price lookups and such but I see nothing in the raw specs pertaining to grabbing historical prices.
