Options data - We have implied volatility data for US stocks

Interesting project now: as price series is overly traded. Options data is more interesting.

options volume reflects institutional player's view on the stocks.

Data consists of:

  1. Vol surface data

Anson and Thomas discusses on retrieving data from SQL

Rest of team: think of a backtester following the principle of QuantConnect

Object-Oriented Way

model: take the price data, output actions

transform actions to actual trades & rebalancing of shares (with price & log-return data)

To-do: How to merge the dataset -MongoDB has no schema, it's quite bad.

AV data - Parallelise across API keys, get insynchrounous data - good future project plan. No rush for this from the daily forecast team
