FasTick Advantages

Speed & Robustness

FasTick is a high compression data container. Ten years of adjusted and connected U.S. equity, option, and index tick data has been compressed to approximately seventy five gigabytes from over seven terabytes. The API returns tick data that can easily be integrated into many existing trading, research, and order management applications. The following APIs are used to access data:

C++ Windows API
Java Windows API
C++ Unix Socket API
C++ Windows Socket API

Normalization

All data is stored unadjusted and adjusted on the fly for corporate actions and tick corrections. All data is corrected historically for ticker, CUSIP, and name changes. Users never have to worry about a connection being broken.
