Hi,
for longer term listed options, CF_BID and CF_ASK are empty when I try pulling them to python. Specifically, I am looking at STXE33000X6.EX. However, the quote window (F4) shows bid and ask quotes. Is there a way to pull the bid and ask quotes from the quote window to python?
@steffen.fuchs I have checked that RIC and it seems correct - there are no bids or offer for this instrument - hence the return you are receiving. Please check the quote window below to confirm.
Thanks, Jason. When there are no quotes, how is the field 'TR.IMPLIEDVOLATILITY' calculated?
Hi @steffen.fuchs I believe it must be using the Settlement Price (Data Item Code: SETTLE) which according to the Data Item Browser App (Type DIB from Eikon search bar) is the official closing price of a futures or options contract set by the clearing house at the end of the trading day. I ran it through the option pricer app (OPR) and it seems broadly correct. (The value of SETTLE field is 1,001). I hope this can help.
So there are 'TR.OPWMidImpliedVolatility', 'TR.OPWSettleImpliedVolatility',
TR.OPWCloseImpliedVolatility and TR.IMPLIEDVOLATILITY, all with different values. What are the exact differences here?
