I ran the example strangle selling code from financial hacker site on artifical SPY date (downloaded from Zorro site). I compared the option prices with ThinkOrSwim option prices. I see 10-40% differences in option prices so I believe the artificial historical data is far from optimal for backtesting.
Can somebody recommend where to buy EOD option data and how to convert it to .t8 format? Thanks.

We get data mostly from iVolatility, but there are also other sources. Conversion to .t8 is no problem using the dataParse function, but iVolatility has a dozen different formats, so you must adapt the format string.
