About the Datasets
Option Volatility Curves
Bantix uses multiple end-of-day settlement and risk data sources to create fitted volatility curves for each product’s liquid, listed expirations. A full term structure of constant maturity curves is then interpolated from the listed expiration curves (with DTEs ranging from five to 360 days depending on the product and its overall expiration availability). The following fourth order curve types are available for each expiration:
- One Strike
- One Delta
- One Standard Deviation
- Two Moneyness
Futures Volatility Data
- Bantix will also provide realized volatility with 5-, 10-, 20-, 30- and 60-day fixings for the following futures based information:
- Listed futures contracts
- 30-Day constant maturity (interpolated) contract
- rolling front (or prompt) month contract
