News – Symbol Master Inc. Launches Worldwide Greeks in Collaboration with Exchange Data International

New York, United States // 6th May 2025 – Symbol Master Inc. (SMI), a provider of precision-driven analytics for financial markets, announces the launch of Worldwide Greeks, a new data product developed in partnership with Exchange Data International (EDI). The product delivers Global Greeks and Implied Volatility analytics for equity and equity index options, based on SMI’s proprietary code and unified file-based methodology.

Worldwide Greeks calculates all values using raw implied volatility metrics without applying smoothing techniques or theoretical adjustments to fit arbitrage-free curves. Each option strike is evaluated independently, offering a direct and assumption-free view of actual market behavior.

“Worldwide Greeks represents the culmination of years of focused development around volatility and options analytics,” said George Tull, CEO of Symbol Master Inc. “Our goal was to strip away assumption-based modeling and provide data that reflects market reality as it is. We believe transparency, especially in areas where data cannot be calculated, is not a shortcoming but an essential feature of trustworthy analytics.”

One of the product’s defining features is its programmatic oversight. When certain mathematical or market-based conditions prevent the generation of a value, Worldwide Greeks includes a dedicated “Reason” column, offering a clear, categorized explanation. Five standardized messages help users quickly understand why a value is missing, enhancing transparency and trust in the data.

The product supports a wide range of use cases across quantitative research, trading, and risk management. It is particularly well-suited for institutional users who require detailed insights into pricing dynamics, liquidity structure, and option behavior.

Worldwide Greeks is available through both Symbol Master Inc and Exchange Data International. Both organizations are capable of managing global distribution and client support. Initial coverage includes 21 countries including US equity and index options. Global markets include the G7 markets, as well as, emerging markets with active equity and equity index options activity. Further market expansion is available upon client review.
