Please, Is any BootCamp / Tutorial / BoilerPlate for options backtesting?
In addition to the basics, I would like to understand how to place orders with a delta, ask for the implied volaity, and set stop lost to either at a stock price or option price.
Do you have templates/boilerplates to place spreads and Iron Condors?
Thanks and regards!!!

They really should make this! Options has a lot of quant potential and many strategies have been 'if this then that'-ed by the people at tastyworks with their research

Hey Antonio,
We will be working on an options bootcamp soon, but in the mean time you can access the option data library in the documentation details how options data work on Lean. There is also a tutorial series on options. You can find a basic template options algorithm on the QuantConnect Option API page of the tutorial.
This thread as a few examples on using greeks to trade options.
