Implement historical options data source using Databento's OPRA.PILLAR dataset.
This enables historical options chain lookups for accurate backtesting with
real options prices, replacing synthetic Black-Scholes pricing.
acceptance_criteria:
- DatabentoOptionSnapshotSource implements OptionSnapshotSource protocol
- OPRA.PILLAR dataset used for GLD/SPY options
- Option chain lookup by snapshot_date and symbol
- Strike and expiry filtering supported
- Cached per-date for efficiency
- Fallback to synthetic pricing when data unavailable
implementation_notes: |
OPRA.PILLAR provides consolidated options data from all US options exchanges.
Key challenges:
1. OPRA data volume is large - need efficient caching
2. Option symbology differs from regular symbols
3. Need strike/expiry resolution in symbology
Implementation approach:
- Use 'definition' schema to get instrument metadata
- Use 'trades' or 'ohlcv-1d' for price history
- Cache per (symbol, expiration, strike, option_type, date)
- Use continuous contracts for futures options (GC=F)
Symbology:
- GLD options: Use underlying symbol "GLD" with OPRA
- GC options: Use parent symbology "GC" for continuous contracts
This is a future enhancement - not required for initial backtesting
which uses synthetic Black-Scholes pricing.
