Historical S&P 500 Options data

[Andy Dufresne]

Hi guys,

 

A friend of mine is looking to get a reliable data set for historical option prices for the S&P 500 (read - would love at least 15 years, but will take anything ...) - i.e. all options (all strikes and for all dates); end of day data is sufficient.

 

Can he get this data for free from anywhere? If not, is there a cost effective way of getting it (e.g. some package on any of the online brokers)?

 

TIA,

 

Andy

I think yahoo finance has options data.
