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 have locations in Frankfurt, London and Wrocław, and have been profitable since inception. We’re growing steadily and sustainably – our team is now comprised of over 40 people, and we have a presence in North America and the Asia Pacific.

We are accredited with the ISO 27001 Certified Information Management Security System from the United Registrar of Systems/ UKAS Management Systems.

What Makes Us Different

Client Focus & Flexibility

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.

Independence

big xyt is owned by employees with external investment from Finch Capital . As our shareholders are not banks or exchanges, there is no conflict of interest when evaluating your execution needs or analysing broker performance.

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.

Data Accuracy

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).

Transparency

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

Cost Effectiveness

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.

Extensive Coverage

Global markets coverage and cross-asset: Equities, ETFs, FX and Listed Derivatives (Futures and Options).

Actionable Insights

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.

Research

xyt lab supports more in-depth quantitative research and provides a secure environment to enable data scientists to perform their own analytics on the most granular (Level 3) data which can be overlaid with their own private content, and provides convenience for Python users wanting to generate new metrics or to schedule regular delivery of results.

Team

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.
