Option trading strategy backtesting platforms recommendation

ironchef said:
I code my own backtest programs using VBA excel. I have underlying data going back years that I can download from my broker for free. However, my broker only provides 6 months of historical options and I need to go back at least a decade to try things out. I computed my own option chains using HV but they were not real, and often led to wrong outcomes.

If you can provide real historical option prices and greeks in excel format, it can save me lots of time and trouble.

I can go to your website and order?

Hi Ironchef
Yes, you can download from our API or you can use our FTP. Our data goes back 13 years to 2007 so I would suggest the FTP unless you only have a few symbols, in which case you can loop through our API in Excel or a programming language.
Historical quotes back to 2007 available via FTP are available for a special price of $599 per year and include the initial bulk download and updating files daily.
