One of my 6 sons wanted to do some backtesting options but we do not have
any data.

Anyone know of the site for historical option data? Preferably, free data
but will consider purchasing needed data.

I have searched and while I found a few sites, they were way too expensive.

Hi,

I am using the rchgetyahoohistory function for monthly adjusted prices.

I do not want to specify an end year,month, day . I want the function to always display the most recent price so that i do not have to constantly ( each month) use a new end year, end month, end day.

Just don't give it any dates, and the ending date will be the most recent
date. Just as stated in the documentation, and on the example in the
documentation.

The number of days of history will be determined by the size of the range
you entered the function over.
