I'm about to purchase the complete set of historical option quotes and thought it couldn't hurt to ask if anyone had a discount code to share? Appreciate any input and will come back here to review the data set after I've had a chance to work through it a bit. Thanks.
http://www.ivolatility.com/data/historical_data2.html 30% off at ivolatility. Let us know how costs compare.
I've checked both on pricing in the past and ivol was about 1k higher at the time. I'm definitely going with livevol data though; not because it's cheaper, rather I've been told that it fits my needs better from someone that has worked with both data sets.
How much is the complete set at Livevol? You can get small amounts of options data at ivolatility for very reasonable price. e.g just closing option prices for all strikes for one year is $3.60 per stock, $10 per ETF, $20 per index. http://www.ivolatility.com/data/data_download_intro.html?smid=.2.5.1
$2500 back to 2004. Good deal if the data is decent...have had some bad experiences in the past with others. Huge waste of resources.
