Unbeatable? They charge $745 for five years historical, stricknet charges $147 for that. If you donât mind missing some data then at tbsp download it all @ $65 ($25 registration + 1 month @ $40). $65 or $147 instead of $745. What-are-they-thinking? Edit: strick lacks index options, has to be said.
Too late to edit my post. I am a âfree stuffâ type of amateur options trader/analyst and <b>I should not post a comment âunbeatable pricesâ with a link to a site</b> (I mentioned I do not use) that is less expensive than some other sites but clearly not with the âunbeatable pricesâ. Should limit myself to comment about what I know and used in practice.
One word of warning on historical options data: beware misstated options contract specifications. Even the OCC itself often seems to disseminate incorrect data, especially with respect to strikes.
The Hoadley software makes it quite easy to stream quotes into Excel, and works with some brokerages such as IB to grab real-time data if you have an account with them. I don't know if it's possible to get historical data though.
