Author	Topic: Historic pricing for expired Option symbols (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
tturk -Interested User- Posts: 2 Joined: Jul 22, 2015	Posted: Jul 22, 2015 01:33 PM Msg. 1 of 4 Is it possible to get historic option data ( minute level ) of expired contracts ? eg: Iam able to get options as old as a week or so (GOOG1517G570) Am wondering if I can pull out expired option symbols as old as 2010 or 2011 ( as long as the symbols that I generate are valid and right with the right strike price ). P.S : Iam using R and package iqfeed to get the data. Using the function iqQuote ( to check if the symbol is valid ) and if it is then I use HIT to retrieve the symbol daily quotes .

You would just need to know the symbol.

Now that makes me wonder if Iam doing something wrong with creating the symbols. Let me elaborate . Am using R quote<-iqQuote("GOOG1517G580", type="P", limit=10) #This works ! ( and returns valid data ) CSCO1220V19 - Does not work ! AMZN1017D110 - Does not work ! (Those symbols are from the site for the rules for deciphering symbologies ) http://iqfeed.net/symbolguide/index.cfm?symbolguide=guide&displayaction=support§ion=guide&web=iqfeed&guide=options&web=IQFeed&type=stock Please let me know if Iam doing something wrong. Other sample symbologies that Iam trying to create to test but not working .. CSCO1216K18 CSCO1217K18 Edited by tturk on Jul 23, 2015 at 09:14 PM
