Hi: I would like to know that the Stock options chain are live data. How many expiration days the tool retrieves into excel for the stock Option chains? For example for AAPL I want to get the option chains for the first 6 expiration days in one shot, is it possible? Thanks

Hi: Hi Ankur: Too bad you don't have answer to my question I posted May,20, I am interested in the product. I am interested in getting the bundle of the OPTIONS CHAIN of a stock but in REAL TIME, for example I will retrieve the complete option chain of AAPL, into Excel and and then the prices MUST BE IN REAL TIME (for example the option prices in Excel will change every minute ) Can your product do that? Thanks.
Hi Bob, Option chain feature will download for you all the open valid options for a stock with most of the details. There are other functions that are available like =Option_Last_Price("OptionSymbol") which will get you the last price of that option. Also there are other functions for options like Bid, Ask etc. The pricing is delayed by 15 mins or so not real time. Let me know if this clarifies. Kind regards Ankur
