Historical options lookup

What did this option trade at on a given date, even after it expired?

An option contract ends on its expiry, which is the last date of the contract. After that date, many broker screens stop showing its price history. This lookup finds the recorded prices for one contract, also after its expiry.

Enter the contract and, if you want, a trade date. The page shows a summary of each day with records and the minute bars for one date. A minute bar is the open, high, low, and close price, plus the traded volume, for one minute.

The page also shows the first and last record of the contract and each regular-session minute with no record. You can then decide how much the result can support.

Look up a contract

Who it is for

Options traders who review a past trade: They need the recorded price of a contract at the time of their entry or exit, after the broker no longer shows it.
Traders who check a claim or a screenshot: They need to compare a stated option price with the recorded trades for that contract and minute.
Developers who test one contract before a larger request: They need to see the record format, the time zone, and the gaps before they request many contracts.

What you get

The contract written out in words, and its contract identifier.
The first and last record of the contract, and the number of trading days with records.
A summary of each day with records: open, high, low, last price, volume, and minutes with a trade.
The minute bars for one date: open, high, low, close, and volume for each minute with a record.
The regular-session minutes from 9:30 to 16:00 that have no record, grouped into periods.
All times in New York time.

What it needs from you

The underlying: the stock or fund that the option is on, such as SPY.
The expiry date of the contract.
The option type: call or put.
The strike: the price at which the option lets its holder buy or sell the underlying.
A trade date, if you want one. Without a date, the page shows the last day with records.

How it works

Enter the underlying, expiry, option type, and strike of the contract.
Enter a trade date, or select a day in the daily summary.
Read the first and last record and the gap list before you use the prices.
Compare the recorded prices with your own records.

Limits

A minute bar shows recorded trades. It does not show the price that you could have bought or sold at.
The records contain no bid or ask quotes. A quote is a price that a buyer or seller offers.
A minute bar cannot show the order of trades inside that minute.
A missing bar can mean that no trade occurred or that source data is missing. The lookup does not invent a price for a gap.
The gap list does not know market holidays or early closes.
The archive holds minute bars for options on 1,889 underlyings. SPY, QQQ, IWM, and TSLA records start in June 2014. Most other underlyings start in October 2021 or later.
The archive has no options on AAPL, FB, or BRK.B. The records end on 2 October 2026.
The prices are records. They are not investment advice.

Common questions

Can I find the price of an option that has already expired?

Yes, when the archive has records for that contract. Most results are expired contracts. If the archive has no record, the page says so.

Is the recorded price the price that I could have traded at?

No. A minute bar shows trades that other people made in that minute. Your order could fill at a different price, or not fill at all.

Why is there no price for some minutes?

Many option contracts do not trade every minute. A gap can also come from missing source data. The page lists each gap and does not fill it with an estimate.

Which time zone do the times use?

All times are New York time. Check the time zone of your broker records before you compare them, because brokers can use a different time zone.
