Data Solutions

Algorithmic trading dominates the industry and is defining the new millennium. As a leader in harnessing technology to empower the trader, Essex Radez knows that winning strategies demand access to ultra low latency sources of market data, immediate access to global execution links, and must be fed by only the fastest of distribution systems. We also know that creating, refining, and enhancing winning strategies requires continual and immediate access to a complete set of historical tick data. Yesterday's methods no longer work.

Day by day, the soaring growth in trade and quote messages forces traditional consolidated feeds to fall further behind the market. The volume of quote and trade messages on North American exchanges continues to double each year. This vast increase in trading volume not only results in slow data from the consolidators, it forces up the cost of their service and the communications to deliver their service. But, those who subscribe to the direct feed of the major exchanges are faced with ballooning communications and technology infrastructure costs.

In addition, the cost and complexity of time-series tick-history databases, so crucial to testing and operating successful algorithmic strategies, are sky-rocketing while traditional suppliers offer obsolete solutions.

What can be done?

Essex Radez offers the most effective solutions to each of these data and technology problems – and we do it at the lowest cost of any leading provider. To discover how you can obtain the fastest market data available, the most advanced distribution systems, and the most innovative solution to managing historical data, we invite you to explore our offerings below and to contact us today.

V-Tick provides access to direct-feed market data from all leading North American exchanges, offering the fastest possible, most cost-effective, delivery of raw data and is ideal for powering virtually any application relying on direct exchange feeds. Customer tests, conducted with data drawn from our Chicago data center, have shown V-Tick delivers data an average of 250 milliseconds faster than leading consolidated feeds and with even greater efficiency at peak times, such as market open.  Now, with the opening of our New York data center, equity data becomes even faster.  Why - because we have co-located with, and cross-connected to, NYSE to provide you with listed equity data before it sent to anyone else via the SFTI network, and we offer you the option of co-locating with us to gain this same advantage.

Additionally, V-Tick can provide the same derived and fundamental data elements offered by consolidated feeds, and unlike consolidated feeds, V-Tick can offer intra-day and long-term tick history through our Clarity service.  But V-Tick goes beyond providing market data to offering access to global execution links so that your trades and quotes reach the market far ahead of the competition.
