TRADING ANALYTICS
Modernizing data management, engineering,
and analytics for better trading outcomes.
Some trading analytics platforms can’t deliver performance, agility, simplicity, and scalability all at the same time. But now, there’s a way for you to optimize trading analytics and outcomes - without compromise.
Only kdb Insights empowers data scientists, electronic traders, and engineers to ingest, manage, and store vast volumes of data. We help them utilize market data statistics, tune algorithmic trading in real-time, and deliver pre and post-trade analytics to measure performance and improve trading confidence. KX also makes it easy to prepare dynamic visualizations and reports, such as Transaction Cost Analysis (TCA) and Execution Analytics, and build data pipelines from disparate data sources – such as Liquidity Venues and Order Book data. KX Insights also powers fast and effective Risk and Balance Sheet Management, at speed and at scale.
