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 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.
STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT
PERFORMANCE TRENDS & ANALYSIS
MARKET STRUCTURE & LIQUIDITY INSIGHTS
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
BACK TESTING
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 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.

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
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.
