Hello,
Does anyone know how I can get the price of contracts on the day they are set to expire? For example, minute bar prices of a call option that has an expiration Friday 2018/01/26, on Friday 2018/01/26.
The current setup in the documents does not allow it and returns the Thursday before expiration.

Hi Houman Dehghan,
Here is my attempt to get the price of the contract at the expiry.
Please see the attached example for details
Hi Jing Wu,
Many thanks for your comment. Would this also work in the research platform?
It would be easier in research notebook as you could request the options history directly.

qb.GetOptionHistory(symbol, date)Unfortunately that does not seem correct. I think there is a bug somewhere, I have attached the notebook. The function returns the previous day values instead, 2018-01-18 instead of 2018-01-19.
I actually played around with the notebook a little bit, there are various days that come back empty. For example in the note book above if you try the Tuesday before expiration or even Wednesday it comes back empty.
Has anyone experienced the same issue?
