Computed from Strasmore's warehouse of US exchange, SIP and OPRA market data. Equity prices are delayed; options greeks and implied volatility are end-of-day. This result is stored, not recomputed on load — it is exactly the numbers that were returned on 2026-10-04, and the query below is what returned them.

  AND date >= (SELECT max(date) - 90 FROM global_markets.options_greeks)
