Independence and accuracy, combined with the transparency we provide on the underlying data, is at the core of our Open TCA offering.
This is seen as essential by our clients to improve workflows, optimise trading strategies and ensure best execution.
As global markets evolve, pre and post-trade execution analysis has to manage increasingly complex data sets at previously unmeasurable levels of granularity.
big xyt harvests, stores and normalises those global granular data sets, and with Open TCA, we provide the tools to interrogate them in order to estimate a client’s pre-trade costs, benchmark their trading when they executed, and calculate the cost when they did not.
Why do our clients choose Open TCA?
Independence
With no external ownership, and no conflicting trading function, big xyt’s data analytics are completely unbiased.
Flexibility
Our innovative approach, domain expertise and transparent methodology means the user has everything at their fingertips, from a standard TCA report, to an API to facilitate the latest machine learning techniques and apply them to their trading datasets.
Service
From POC to production and beyond, our technical support is designed to be an extension of our clients’ teams. By partnering with big xyt, clients gain the accurate insights they need, whenever they need them.
Our clients report 97% ACCURACY in finding trades.
