tickdatamarket.com any experience

[fbirdien]

Hi There,
Was wondering if anyone had any experience using Tickdatamarket.com ?

Do they have reliable data ?


thanks

Never heard of them - do they post sample or trial data for free so that people can see for themselves?

Do they also post the raw exchange or ticker tape to compare against?

Had never heard of them until earlier this year. There was a thread on T2W where they were mentioned:

FWIW, we use/have-used: Reuters, CQG, Tickdata

Tickdatamarket is providing milli seconds time stamp.
They said that their data is collected directly from CME , but I checked CME data format and it HHMMSS time format.

Wondering how do they manage to get sub sec time stamp when exchange is not providing it ?

Will that massaged data negatively impact backtesting ?

I contacted CGQ , their rep said that
"we don't have sub-minute timestamp. We do however preserve the order of prices as we receive them from the exchange"

So their time format is HHMM.

Were you able to perform satisfactory backtesting using data in HHMM format ?

thanks
