QCAlgorithm has a member called Securities. It is a dictionary with information from all the subscribed securities that can be accessed every time we need. Here is an example on how to get the security price in a scheduled event:
class MyAlgo(QCAlgorithm): def Initialize(self): AddEquity("SPY") self.Schedule.On(self.DateRules.EveryDay("SPY"), \ self.TimeRules.AfterMarketOpen(self.spy, 60), \ Action(self.print_first_hour)) def print_first_hour(self): spy = self.Securities["SPY"] price = spy.Price self.Log("EveryDay.SPY 60 min after open: Fired at: {0}. Price: {1}".format(self.Time, price))Jon Soll
Can we do the same thing with options data?

Yes, It is possible to get options data in a scheduled event. Note that the sliced data needs to be saved previously and then called upon in during the scheduled event.
