Historical Option Prices

[pettitdawg]

Is there a way to download historical option prices? Figured out you have to go change the ticker symbol from what it downloaded from brokerage, which then allowed the current price to update at least. However, it has the underlying stock value in the historical option prices which makes all the graphs/reports wrong. Current quote server is Yahaoo (options) for current price and "default" for Historical under each option which is Yahoo (historical).

Hi pettitdawg,

It sounds like you maybe downloaded historical prices before changing the symbol? You can delete the wrong prices by using "Investment Data / Delete Prices", or go into the Data Register, and select the "Prices" data type. Select all the incorrect prices at once (using Shift) and press "Delete".

I'm not aware of a source for historical option prices. I believe you're only able to get current quotes.
