Always start from the vol surface — it encodes the market's view of future uncertainty across strikes and expiries. Individual option prices are derived from this surface. Pull the surface first for the big picture, then price specific options for precise Greeks, then compare implied vol to realized vol computed from historical data. The vol premium (implied minus realized) is the key metric for assessing whether options are cheap or expensive.
equity_vol_surface — Implied vol surface for equities/indices. Input: RIC (e.g., ".SPX@RIC") or RICROOT (e.g., "ES@RICROOT"). Returns vol by strike/delta and expiry.fx_vol_surface — Implied vol surface for FX pairs. Input: currency pair (e.g., "EURUSD"). Returns vol by delta and expiry. FX surfaces are quoted in delta space.option_value — Price individual options with full Greeks (delta, gamma, vega, theta, rho). Use after identifying specific strikes from the vol surface.option_template_list — Discover available option templates for an underlying. Use to find valid expiries and strikes before pricing.tscc_historical_pricing_summaries — Historical OHLC data. Use to compute realized vol from price history.qa_historical_equity_price — Historical equity prices. Alternative source for realized vol computation.equity_vol_surface or fx_vol_surface (based on asset type). Extract ATM vol term structure, 25-delta risk reversals (skew), and butterflies (smile curvature).option_template_list to find available option types, expiries, and strikes for the underlying.option_value for specific options of interest.
