Get today's option trades with trade delta and implied volatility for your symbol of choice. In addition to standard filtering by option root, expiry, strike, and and option type, apply advanced filtering across time, size, price, exchange and trade condition. Enhanced sorting by time, size and price is also supported. Exchange codes can be mapped to reference API method /reference/exchanges. Trade condition id can be mapped to reference API method /reference/message-conditions.
