Historical Options Data for GBP/USD


Recommended Posts

Hi there, 

I was wondering is it possible to get the historical options data including the Greeks for forex pairs like the £/$ through the IG API?

Or is there any other source of data elsewhere that anyone could recommend?

The goal is to work out (historically, eg for the last 10 yrs) where the "sweet spot" is of how much open losses to hold onto as a Short Seller versus that amount of premiums earnt.

For example selling Strangles (Short Put and Short Call) might historically show that the most suitable place to exit the position on an historical basis is when the typical max adverse excursion is $400 on the challenged and losing leg and that letting that losing leg go beyond this level ($400 loss) typically doesn't result in the option coming back and expiring worthless.

Thanks for any feedback

Best
Ian

    • Hey everyone! It’s a good day, the market’s looking green, and we’re getting closer to the HMSTR listing! I know all of us Tap-to-Earn fans are pumped, myself included. I’ve been busy completing the Gleam tasks on Bitget to take advantage of multiple earning methods and stack up on HMSTR.  In another event Hamster 🐹 also just announced they’ll be taking a snapshot on the 20th, which will give us a clearer picture of what to expect for the airdrop rewards. Things are really heating up, and I’m super excited for what’s coming next!  How about you guys? Who else is feeling the hype for this drop?
    • Binance NEIRO launch has been met with confusion as the listing team lists two different memecoins on Futures and Spot under the NEIRO ticker. This mix-up quickly resulted in a high volatility both upwardly and downwardly, and market manipulation accusations. An unfortunate incident that led to massive loss for traders that bought the top. As it ought to have been, both NEIROs: NEIROETH and NEIROCTO are correctly trading on Bitget as two different tokens, maintaining high vol and liquidity.  For a top exchange, one would expect due diligence from Binance listing team, price integrity and zero market manipulation. Anything less is a slap on the faces of users who deserve utmost transparency.
