I wanted to know if there is US Equities version of the course as all the example and practics are done with nifty a NSE future.

Hi Pierre,



The learnings from the option course can be implemented on any European style options. Typically, index options in the US, such as SPX, RUT, and DJX, are European; thus, the learnings can be applied to them similarly. I would suggest you get the US index options data from OptionsDX or any other data vendor of your choice and try applying the learnings of the course. However, do note that QuantInsti is not affiliated with OptionsDX and before getting the data from any vendor, it is essential that traders carry out necessary research about that vendor. Please let us know if you face any issues; we would be happy to help!



Thanks,

Akshay

Do you have any guide available to help me learn how to use this data obtained from OptionsDX? I tried to read it as pickle file and it didn't work.

Thanks

Hello Pierre,



Ideally, the downloaded file would be a zipped file with the extension ".7z". You can extract this zip file and you will find multiple files with the ".txt" extension. You can read these ".txt" files using the pandas "read_csv" function.



Hope this helps.
