FasTick Features

Integration with the MarketQA platform allows the user to perform any trade simulation in QAL. Pairs trading, parameter optimization and dynamic VWAP are just a few of the analyses that can be performed with the MarketQA language.

In addition, FasTick has API capabilities as a static library or DLL to use such products as S-PLUS® and MATLAB®, or with C++, Java and VB for application developers.

FasTick tick data can be split-adjusted or dividend-adjusted depending on user requirements. It can be viewed as original "as-reported" data or as cleansed data. Standard deviation cleansing can be done on the fly, as can removal of irregular or outlier quotes that can skew analysis. All correction codes are in the database and can be viewed with the cleansed data option.

FasTick has the built-in capability to load foreign security data and work with other data vendors using fixed interfaced external DLLs.

FasTick works with multiple data packs (equities, options, futures, indices...) that can be configured/loaded according to a client's specifications. The product also supports data filtering and access by market maker ID, sales conditions, correction codes, Qmodes, open close indicators, and source exchange (including primary designation).
