hi @fengyijin ,

Please find an answer from the content specialist below

It appears that you are looking for the WTI or Brent Options on Futures with the following characteristics:

1. Call and Put
2. Strike Price 106
3. Expiration on April 26 2022

specifically the data on volume, open interest, implied volatility

ICE Brent Future Option:
1. For ICE Brent, the Call has the RIC LCO10600F2
2. For ICE Brent, the Put has the RIC LCO10600R2

WTI Future Option, they don't have a contract expiring on Apr 26 2022 but you may find the other contract months under the chain RIC 0#CL+

In Excel or API, you may use the following fields: TR.ACCUMULATEDVOLUME;TR.OPENINTEREST and TR.IMPLIEDVOLATILITY

Sample Formula in Excel to get the TR.ACCUMULATEDVOLUME;TR.OPENINTEREST and TR.IMPLIEDVOLATILITY

=@TR("LCO10600F2","TR.IMPLIEDVOLATILITY;TR.ACCUMULATEDVOLUME;TR.OPENINTEREST","CH=Fd RH=IN")

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This Excel formula can be converted to Python code for the Eikon Data API as

df, err = ek.get_data('LCO10600F2',['TR.IMPLIEDVOLATILITY','TR.ACCUMULATEDVOLUME','TR.OPENINTEREST'])
df

and the output is

   Instrument  Implied Volatility  Accumulated Volume  Open Interest
0  LCO10600F2               50.45                  32            661

This forum is more for programming-type queries, rather than content queries. I would recommend you to contact the Eikon support team directly via MyRefinitiv. You can ask for the =TR formula in the Eikon Excel which can be used to retrieve this data and if the formula is available, we can apply it to the get_data method in Eikon Data API. That way a content specialist can work closely with you to find a way to get the required data.

However, for this case, I've raised ticket number 11144961 to a content specialist team to confirm if it is possible to retrieve the data using Eikon Excel or Eikon Data API. I'll keep you updated

Hope this could help
