What We Do

Navigating fragmented markets remains a challenge for participants needing easily digestible information on trading analysis.

big xyt’s data analytics solutions respond to these market challenges and provides clients access to transparent, accurate, and normalised data.

big xyt has created a global ecosystem for tick data analytics covering more than 120 trading venues, across equities, ETFs, FX, and listed derivatives (futures and options). Our solutions are available in T+1 and real-time.

Our unique private cloud-based technology normalises trade conditions of venues allowing consistent aggregations of trading volumes, comprehensive analysis, and delivery of results in flexible and customisable formats.  Our APIs support more in-depth quantitative research and feed dependent systems such as algorithms and decision support tools, essential for data science and quant teams.

big xyt’s innovative data analytics solutions are relevant for a broad range of use cases.

REGULATORY CHANGES

Trading data analytics have until now been available only to the most sophisticated firms with substantial capital investments.  big xyt is breaking the mould by making the capability available to all firms, whether or not their main focus is on trading, and regardless of the size of their budgets.

By mutualising this capability on behalf of the industry, we provide flexible and tailor-made solutions (available in T+1 or real-time) at a fraction of the cost of in-house builds.

How do we do this?

  • Our data quality is at the core of what we offer. We systematically collect, clean, validate and store very large amounts of referential and tick data across global markets (this corresponds to trillions of data points each year).
  • We generate sophisticated metrics that measure all forms of trading, and can quickly add new metrics to service clients’ specific needs.
  • We make them available in easy to use visualisation tools that demonstrate patterns and performance (actionable insights).
  • We provide comprehensive and flexible APIs that support more in-depth quantitative research and feed dependent systems such as algorithms and decision support tools.

Information is delivered through a convenient and interactive user interface, and can be easily connected to our private cloud-based platform via APIs.

What’s behind the big xyt name?

Big is for big data. X and Y are variables and represent our focus on analytics. The T stands for time.

Looking at a single event in isolation is only one page in a story. It is only when we combine the pages and chapters that the full narrative emerges.

Founded in 2014, we’re steadily growing and have locations in Frankfurt, London, New York and Wrocław, and a presence in Singapore.

What Makes Us Different

big xyt is wholly owned by its founders and employees, which means there is no conflict of interest when evaluating your execution needs or analysing broker performance.

Embracing a nimble approach, our core strategy is to constantly evaluate new ideas, methodologies and technologies. In partnership with our clients, we are always innovating and supporting clients to demonstrate their own value proposition. We provide full access to data via web-based dashboards (GUIs), customised reports and APIs.

Firms across the financial services industry choose big xyt as their data analytics partner due to our independence and ability to provide the best quality normalised data, our capability to deliver complex security and execution analytics in sophisticated and data-rich financial markets, as well as the in-depth domain experience of the big xyt team in setting up, running and maintaining data analytics environments for tick data in highly secure environments.

Our data quality is at the core of what we offer. We systematically collect, clean, validate and store very large amounts of reference and tick data across global markets (this corresponds to trillions of data points each year).

Our powerful APIs give you the flexibility to integrate our private cloud-based platform with your trading infrastructure, quickly and easily.

Our solutions enable our clients to streamline their technology overhead costs. Increasingly, the global financial services community is realising the benefits of working with a specialist partner as opposed to the time and cost of trying to replicate all building blocks required for data science inhouse.

Our quantitative pedigree and domain expertise in trading and investment enables us to provide insightful data analytics solutions and smart analytics using AI and machine learning.

Global markets coverage and cross-asset class (equities, ETFs, FX, futures and options).

Decades of experience in data analytics, mathematics, software engineering and data science (covering analytics solutions, trading, risk management, regulation and financial reporting). Our business development team has extensive global investment banking experience, across portfolio management, electronic trading, and client management.
