Historical Data

CFE OHLC data is an end of day summary file that contains the volume traded, open interest, open, high, low and last sale price along with last bid and last ask of each VIX futures contract obtained from the Cboe Futures Exchange (CFE). The historical data is available by month back to April 2004.

Historical end of day quotes and trade summary for S&P 500 (SP) and e-mini futures (ES) from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

Our end-of-day option quotes file actually provides two snapshots of market quote and size, one at 15:45 and another at the market close (market closing time is product dependent). Summary trading data is also included in the files. The first, last, lowest and highest trade in every series, as well as, the total volume, VWAP and open interest.

Our end-of-day option quotes with Calcs file provides all of the fields in the end-of-day Option quotes file plus market implied volatility for each option, as well as, the greeks (Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega and Rho). Implied volatility and Greeks are calculated off of the 1545 timestamp, since it is considered a more accurate snapshot of market liquidity than the end of day market.

Volatility skew data allows users to analyze relative option pricing levels over time series by comparing “virtual” option strikes with identical time to maturity and levels relative to spot. Our Volatility Skew files show the implied volatility levels of virtual options expiring at constant maturities, with option strikes defined by either moneyness (% from spot) or by option delta. These files allow for more appropriate comparison of implied volatility levels over time. LiveVol volatility skew data is provided with either moneyness increments (5% steps from spot from 0-60%, with additional values at 2.5% from spot) or delta increments (5 delta increments for both calls and puts). Standard maturity periods range from 30 to 360 calendar days. An auxiliary set of skew index data will be provided with each purchase. Skew indexes represent a measure of option skew by symbol and maturity for a particular day. Delta skew data is used to generate the skew index metrics: for example, SKEW90 represents the (IV of 25 delta put – IV of 25 delta call)/(50 delta call IV) for virtual options expiring in 90 days.

Open-Close data is a volume summary file for trading activity on the BZX exchange. It summarizes and buckets the volume by origin (customer, professional customer, broker-dealer, and market maker), buying/selling, and opening/closing criteria. The customer and professional customer volume is further broken down into trade size buckets (less than 100 contracts, 100-199 contracts, greater than 199 contracts). The data currently goes back to 1/2/2018 and contains all series in an underlying security's chain-if it has volume.
