Historical Option Data

[kujista]

Hello,
is it possible to use (buy) historical option data for developing strategy and their backtest. If so, where can I get further information? (Pricing, how many days back can I get these data)?

Thanks for answer
Pavel

Hello Pavel,

Thanks for your post.

So I may accurately assist, please clarify exactly what your overall goal is by providing a brief description.

If you are referring to using NinjaScripts with Options, not that NinjaScripts are not supported for Options use.

Hello kujista,

Thanks for your notes.

No, this would not be possible to accomplish since NinjaScripts are not supported for Options use.

There are no supported means for using NinjaScripts for Options in NinjaTrader.

Hello kujista,

Thanks for your notes.

Below is the help guide page link that states NinjaScripts are not supported for Options. This could also be found in the help guide by navigating to Operations > Historical Data > Data by provider in the left menu of the help guide.

I have also fixed the link in the above forum post.
