ABOUT US
OUR MISSION:
Sick and tired of paying high prices for historical option data?
Or have been hesitant to buy historical option data because it is not
so cheap as you found out?
Making a consistent profit trading in the market is hard enough,
let alone coming up with reliable trading strategies and algorithms and
then paying BIG MONEY for historical data to backtest your strategies.
Our mission at discountoptiondata.com is to provide the most affordable end-of-day historical option data
to consumers ever! Instead of paying thousands of dollars for historical option data from elsewhere
we offer the whole dataset from 2005 up to today for just a few hundred dollars.
There is no place on earth that can beat this price! If you find any other websites selling a comparable product
at a lower price, please let us know and we will give it to you for free!
Since our inception, we have sold our option data to thousands of satisfied customers from around the globe.
Buyers of our data range from regular, retail traders, students, finance professors to investment professionals
from countries such as the USA, Canada, Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, Brazil, the United Kingdom, France, Israel,
Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark, Belgium, Germany, Russia, Rumania, Bulgaria, Italy, India, China,
Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, and many others.
We offer even deeper discount to aspiring finance and quant students when requested.
Our pricing structure is simple and transparent:
There is no need to “contact us for quote” as most of our competitors who like to
keep customers in the dark.
At discountoptiondata.com, the pricing is so low, so clear,
so loud on the home page so you don’t have to guess.
We also absolutely don’t care if you are an individual investor or a rich hedge fund,
you all pay the same guaranteed lowest price.
We simply just refuse to rip you off like other
financial data companies just because we think you can afford it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the product delivered?
Data is delivered as zipped .csv files.
Data is delivered by:
1. Physical delivery: compressed csv files stored in flash drive and delivered to your physical
address.
2. Google Drive delivery (super recommended): upon providing us your valid gmail address, files are automatically delivered instantaneously to your shared Google Drive.
This is so hassle-free compared to the other options. The reason Google Drive is super recommended is in the extremely rare case of our servers going down at all, the chance of
Google Drive going down is even way a LOT more unlikely. One note is your Google Drive most likely has 15 GBs available be default, but don't worry, since the files
are shared from our Google Drive (more than 1 TBs), you don't have to worry about your Google Drive capacity.
What are the symbols you carry?
We carry over 4000 symbols and indexes covering the entire US market. For the list of symbols and indexes please refer to
our product details
I just wanted to quickly confirm that the option data you provide for the tickers covered includes all option expiration dates, i.e. includes all LEAPS?
Yes, data includes all option expiration dates, i.e. includes all LEAPS.
Do you have historical minute level option data for USA stocks and Indexes?
No, we don’t. We specialize only in end of day option data at this point.
