comment What is the “delta” option quoting convention about?
I can't find any options data, only spot and futures, even after signing up for the one year of free historical data. But the LME zinc contracts sell with strikes at intervals of 25, 50, and 100 in the strike ranges of <10000, 10000-20000, and >20000. They should be telling you the strike. Maybe write tech support?

Your data provider should give you strike, also. At least if you're paying them money. What kind of option is this? I am not familiar with zinc march 2013.

I always get it from my data provider, who calculates the Greeks from a volatility surface. You shouldn't have to (or want to) find delta yourself.
