By the OneTick & KX Team
In our last post, we discussed the two critical factors in the race from tick to signal: data quality and analytics speed. With the combination of OneTick and KX, that gap has closed.
We deliver a unified platform for high-quality, on-demand market data access and world-leading analytics which empowers firms to move with greater confidence across research, trading, and compliance.
Let’s delve deeper into how OneTick and KX come together to stand apart from the rest:
Your Trusted Partner in Global Market Data
- Turnkey Market Data & Analytics Platform: OneTick isn’t just a database or engine — it delivers managed global market data (tick, quote, reference, corporate actions) combined with built-in analytics for quant research, execution quality, and surveillance, all in one platform.
- Breadth of Coverage & Depth of Features: Coverage spans 200+ global venues across asset classes, with normalized & cleaned data, corporate action handling, and rich content that feeds directly into analytics, not just raw storage.
- Integrated Analytics & Workflow Support: Unlike general-purpose databases, we provide built-in financial analytics, Python and SQL APIs, real-time streaming, dashboards, and machine learning tools tailored to market data workflows.
- Managed Service Options: The OneTick Cloud offering removes the need to build and maintain infrastructure, accelerating time-to-insight and lowering operational costs, a differentiator from open-source engines where users must build around the database.
- Enterprise-Ready & Multi-Use: We support a wider set of institutional use cases (surveillance, regulatory reporting, best execution) beyond pure research or analytics — a broader application base than typical open-source databases.
And Your Go-to Engine for AI-Driven Analytics
- Exchange APIs & Scripts: We unify streaming and historical data with consistent, accurate, time-aligned analytics, no limitations.
- Data Lake + BI Dashboards: Rely on us for real‑time analytics and seconds‑fast recall from tiered storage, no more batch-oriented dashboards that are too slow for live trading and risk.
- In‑house Backtest Engine: Unlike alternatives which lack realistic replay at scale (and thus have a hard time matching production), OneTick and KX help run backtesting, simulations, and live execution in the same system with production parity.
- Execution Intelligence: We offer sub-second to sub-millisecond analytics at scale without downsampling – empowering real-time transaction cost analysis (VWAP/IS) and quote-to-fill attribution across CEX/DEX/OTC to reduce slippage and capture spread.
- Streaming Compliance Enrichment & Operational Dashboards: KYC, AML, and sanctions joined to orders, trades, and wallets with live KRIs so teams can spot issues in seconds, tighten limits, reroute orders, or hit the kill-switch before P&L bleeds.
- Unified Pipeline: One schema-on-read, time-series engine serving research, execution, and reporting to cut duplicate jobs and dashboards or stitched tools for streaming, historical, and replay (with lineage/policy controls in the same engine).
Together in Action: THE WINNING COMBINATION
The true power lies in the integration. Together, we provide customers with the instant, high-quality global market data that seamlessly fuels powerful compute engines. This combination offers customers an end-to-end solution from a single vendor, significantly compressing the research-to-production lifecycle.
Why this combination wins:
- Zero Engineering Overhead: Instead of building and maintaining complex feed handlers and data lakes, firms can stream OneTick’s normalized data directly into analytics environments.
- Smarter AI Models: By feeding KX’s vector-native AI engine with OneTick’s precision-cleaned data, firms can develop more accurate predictive models and automated trading strategies.
- Unified Workflow: From backtesting strategies on decades of historical data to deploying them in real-time using streaming engines, the workflow is seamless.
Leading to positive business outcomes:
- Lower Costs & Improved Performance: Achieve better spread capture at lower execution costs and lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for storing and querying large histories.
- Increased Team Efficiency: Spend less time on ingestion/reconciliation; more on alpha and client service. Shorter research cycles make for quicker strategy deployments.
- Best Execution & Client Transparency: We help you realize stronger best-execution defensibility with shorter audit prep cycles through real-time execution/performance reporting.
