I would like to know how the new planned data update process for equity options backtesting data is progressing as I've noticed that equity options are frozen at 30Nov2018. Having daily updates available for backtesting would be most useful for validating algos in current market conditions.

Hi Ernest,
The options data will be updated in the near future. We just re-architected the data processing and so we're working getting updates done as quickly as we can!

Hi Jack,
That's awesome - hopefully 640 cores will do the job - have you got an ETA for when this will be running ?

Ernest,
No definite ETA right now but I imagine a couple of weeks. Keep an eye out on our News and Updates section!
