Real-time
Analytics

big xyt’s ‘first-to-market’ real-time data analytics service delivers a high quality, consistent and normalised dataset of European trades and EBBO (European Best Bid and Offer) benchmark prices.

Developed in collaboration with one of the world’s largest asset managers and leveraging big xyt’s proprietary European consolidated tape, this turnkey solution captures billions of messages daily, and processes data in less than one second (with 500 intra-day data quality checks each day).

big xyt’s solution is delivered As-a-Service and is accessible via web-based front-ends and APIs, minimising the burden of resources, time and costs of implementation. big xyt is co-located in major data centres to capture tick data reliably and consistently from multiple real-time feeds, and its proprietary technology stack is designed to accommodate volume surges with the highest standards of data quality, monitoring and system resilience.

Moving from overnight to real-time data processing reduces the complexity of market fragmentation in a cost-effective way, and will enhance the attractiveness of European markets to issuers and investors alike.

Real-time analytics are available now across big xyt’s full product range, including the Liquidity Cockpit for Equities, the Liquidity Cockpit for ETFs, and the Open TCA solution for execution analytics.

Use Cases

big xyt’s real-time analytics solution delivers a variety of off-the-shelf use cases for the trading and investment industry, including tracking accurate and reliable market share and volume calculations intra-day.

Trading firms can effectively monitor consolidated liquidity for any security (stock or ETP), including unexpected off-book trading activity, trades of unusually large size, pending trades and sudden increases in OTC volumes.

Investors can access and analyse consistent and reliable pre-trade and post-trade information to better understand liquidity and trading conditions at the time it occurs and to support algorithmic strategies.

Exchanges can access same-day, consolidated reports on market fragmentation to monitor liquidity and inform participants and internal teams. 

Sell-side firms can stay informed about unexpected trading activity when speaking to their clients – mainly off-book activity.

“Our normalisation and consistent processing provides the most accurate (the ‘Golden Source’) view of liquidity and traded volumes in the European marketplace. Moving our solutions into real-time brings our capabilities into a whole new range of intra-day workflows in addition to historical reference or R&D.”
