Ok, now finally the list has been created. I named it "US_Options_Meta_Data":Update / New developments:
I'm hopeful to compile such a list myself and post it here tomorrow or so.
It will have all the 5869 or so tickers on the CBOE list.
Code:
The attached file "US_Options_Meta_Data_as_of_2021-11-10-We-AH.zip" was compiled by
using options EOD data from 2021-11-10-We from data source YahooFinance (via API).
It contains two files: a .csv and a .txt (this README text). The .csv file can of course be
loaded in M$ Excel as well in LibreOffice Calc (an Excel clone, or a similar tool).
Version 1.0
Columns in the CSV file:
Underlying_Ticker
NumExpDates
ExpDateThis # Expiration date as YYYY-MM-DD
Underlying_Spot
Call_ATM_IV_as_Pct
Put_ATM_IV_as_Pct
TickerType # S=Stock, E=ETF, I=Index
OptionType # M=Monthly, W=Weekly
NumCallStrikes
NumPutStrikes
CallStrikeLo
CallStrikeHi
PutStrikeLo
PutStrikeHi
From_Spot_to_C_Klo_as_Pct # C_Klo means CallStrikeLo
From_Spot_to_C_Khi_as_Pct # C_KHi means CallStrikeHi
From_Spot_to_P_Klo_as_Pct # P_Klo means PutStrikeLo
From_Spot_to_P_Khi_as_Pct # P_Khi means PutStrikeHi
Notes:
- ATM IV calculation uses the nearest ITM and OTM strike, ie. in total just 2 strikes
- Call and Put have their own individual ATM IV
- Calculated only for the current "Front Expiration Date" (ie. not for the full series of ExpDates)
- Of the 5889 tickers in CBOE's cboesymboldirequityindex.csv, 5485 tickers were processed successfully.
The other ones have either no option data, or lack something other (hadn't time yet to analyse this further,
but I think one of the reasons is naming issues for indices, as Yahoo uses the ^ character in front of the ticker, but not CBOE.
The few tickers with ^ I added manually)
- This is the very first compilation of this list, so bugs are possible --> just report any inconsistency seen

- Contact author via PM at ET for new columns and/or features to include in the list
