Hey Master Yoda,
The visualizations graphs in the tutorial represent a general model of how those greeks work and dont involve any specific market data.
However, you can always look at the greeks of available option contracts from market data using our API.
Here's how to do it:
def Initialize(self):
#Add option for an underlying
self.option = self.AddOption("AAPL")
#Set filter for contracts
self.option.SetFilter(-2, +2, TimeSpan.Zero, TimeSpan.FromDays(180))
#In order to view option greeks you must specify a Option Price Model
self.option.PriceModel = self.OptionPriceModels.BlackScholes()
#then for a given OptionsContract, you can access its greeks using
contract.Greeks.Delta
contract.Greeks.Gamma
contract.Greeks.Vega
contract.Greeks.Rho
contract.Greeks.Theta
