Our data comes from ThetaData, an OPRA (Options Price Reporting Authority) licensed provider. The data is processed and converted into indicative data.

Approximately 6,000 optionable American stocks, corresponding to the official OCC (Options Clearing Corporation) list.

Yes, during market hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET), prices are updated in real-time via WebSocket. OHLC data is available in 7 granularities: 1min, 5min, 15min, 30min, 1H, 4H, and daily.

We use "mapped" data. Mapping consists of processing and reformatting raw data feeds from exchanges to make them usable, without going through direct redistribution licenses that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. This allows us to avoid the exorbitant fees imposed by American exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ, CBOE) and offer you accessible prices. Despite this processing, our data remains very close to reality — typically within a cent — making it perfectly suited for strategy analysis and simulation.
