Bloomberg has no historical option chain?
- Thread starter mizhael
- Start date
Depends on how historical you wanna get... As long as the underlying is still valid in BBG, you can get the options for it. However, the underlying, once it's matured, doesn't stick arnd for too long.Quote from mizhael:
downloading historical option data from Bloomberg is impossible?
any thoughts?
www.optionsxpress.com offers it for account holders
Of course it has the historical data for downloading. As long as the option's underlying is still valid in BBG, you can download the historical data for options on that underlying. Problem is that, unfortunately, BBG doesn't keep the underlying ticker valid for too long. Hence my previous post.Quote from losemind:
yes, but BB doesn't have historical data for downloading...
I want to do backtesting on option historical data...
