Solving the Problem of

Soaring market data rates

Growing latency in vendor feeds

 

Are you tired of slow data and market data vendors that can't keep pace?

 

Have increasing quote rates caused technology breakdowns with your data vendor or your firm?

 

Is it time to put an end to deteriorating service and ever higher prices?

 

Essex Radez believes that the answer is direct access to the fastest, most reliable, most economical market data solution in the industry – direct feed data straight from the source – exchanges and ECNs. V-Tick offers the lowest-cost access to this pristine data. Moreover, V-Tick offers access to the execution links of these same exchanges and ECNs, as well as derived and fundamental data.  For OPRA data users we also offer SFB Market Systems OCC Data.

 

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 - that's because our New York center is co-located, and cross-connected, with NYSE at 55 Water Street.  In New York, we access NYSE, AMEX, and regional exchange data (CTS/CQS and NYSE Openbook) before it is sent over the SFTI network to other data providers!  What's more, you can choose to co-locate with us in this elite data center.  Of course, as in Chicago, all of our other V-Tick data feeds are available and sourced from the fastest networks available.  And, as you would expect, the Chicago and New York data centers are linked via a high-bandwidth Cogent fiber connection.

 

With traditional vendor-delivered consolidated feeds, the vendor procures all the data, normalizes it, adds a large quantity of miscellaneous information and sends it to you in a proprietary format. The problem is that this middleman processing results in high-latency, low-throughput, low-reliability and high ticker-software cost. Yet, traditional direct feed solutions are expensive. They involve high start-up cost and require a firm to procure the data feeds, develop or purchase in-house ticker software, and maintain a complex infrastructure. Adding new feeds, or simply keeping pace with exchange changes to existing feeds, adds additional cost and complexity. V-Tick eliminates the cost and complexity of a direct feed solution by providing access to a shared, fully managed, feed infrastructure in a hardened data center. Subscribers can eliminate spiraling bandwidth communication cost by co-locating their applications with V-Tick at the Equinix IBX facility in Chicago or the NYSE data center in New York. 

 

To make the transition to direct data even easier, Essex Radez offers our KMD open source software solution providing an extremely efficient interface to the data.  Through our Derived Data Engine, you will also have access to such derived data fields as VWAP, intraday high and low, accumulated volume, net change and tick direction, to name a few (for a complete listing of derived data fields, click here).  V-Tick also offers access to intra-day quote snapshots and, when used in conjunction with our Clarity service, historical tick data.

 

When milliseconds matter to a trading strategy, V-Tick provides the lowest-latency market data available from leading equity, option, and futures exchanges throughout North America. For more on the V-Tick solution click here.
