About Market Data Project
General About
This is a suite of Market Data Products, available without support, free of charge.
The products have been well tested for more than five years and should meet all the needs of
most people needing real-time and delayed market data and news products.
Users of these products could might ranged from sophisticated Hedge Fund and Money
Managers to the average home Investor/Trader who wants to monitor the entire market news
and real-time market data.
Although a work-in-progress, I have gone to many great lengths to ensure that the average
home user can have these servers functional within an hour of obtaining the software. In the
future the server should become self installing and configuring; so anyone will be able to get
real-time market-data and news with only minor computer knowledge.
The Servers can easily be setup to be used by zero to thousands of clients of real-time market-
data and news.
Comparison to Other market data products
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY UNTIL YOU TRY THIS SUITE OF MARKET DATA
PRODUCTS!
I have worked professionally with several major market data products and their application
programming interface costing tens of thousands to hundreds of thousand of dollars at major
financial institutions. This has provided me with some insight into how much unnecessary
complexity there is in those products and how to minimize or avoid that complexity. Stated
another way, your effort in getting the data you need is significantly simplified when using our
suite of products.
I have made every effort to make this suite of products as easy as possible to use. It should take
no more than a few hours; perhaps as little as two hours, to have your own application being
feed by our server with market data. Examples of this can be found in C++ Interface tutorials.
If at anytime this suite of products falls short of your expectations please let me know what
enhancements you would desire and I will look into making the enhances. Any serious short
coming will be addressed over time.
Data stream
The current data stream for the Market Data Ticker Plant Server is DTN 80x08 receiver.
The Market Data Ticker Plant Server is modular enough to allow easy adaptation to any other
data streams.
DTN Satellite to the best of my knowledge is the most cost effective way to have data
streamed to you if you want to watch all markets in real-time.
WISH LIST
- Given access to a ComStock data stream. If some entity would pay my monthly cost
of living I would adapt the server for ComStock data stream. From my 2003 exposure
to their documentation I do believe it would take no more than two and most three
months to write and test a proper ComStock module for the Ticker Plant Server.
- Given access to the trunk data stream coming directly from the various markets. This
would help me accurately estimate how long it would take to write a module for my
ticker plant. My guess at this time would be about six months.
Access to the Market Data Products
For the most part the Server, API etc is Open Source to within the limitation of the market
agreements and the NDA I signed with DTN. However, to avoid getting into legal issues about
all the documents I signed I will not distribute any aspect of the market data products without
being shown that you have a DTN account and DTN receiver set in place.
Additionally, the source code will only be distributed to anyone I think will be adding value to
the overall benefit and growth of the suite of software products.
That last statement may have people in the Open Source Community up in arms against me.
To them I apologize and ask them to please trust me to have good reason to have this final
requirement in place because of the large percentage of unscrupulous people I have met in
the trading and investment community.
Future of this Suite of Products
This forms the basis of products I intent to release in the upcoming few years; the limitation is
the amount of time I have to work on each suite of products.
The following is a suite of product I intend to add. The power and flexibility of the EyeDB
Historical Database that is part of the suite will make this effort especially easy.
- Portfolio Performance Measurement and Attribution
- Option Analysis
- Fixed Income Securities Analysis
- Technical Analysis.
- Cramer Artificial Intelligence system
Keep in mind that a few of these suites of products cost tens of thousands of dollars but rest
assured they will be given away free of charge. The goal here is to even the playing field with
investors and trader with access to advance trading and analysis tools.

Donations
If you like what I am doing you can support me by a donation via pay pal.
From the student $25.00 donation would be respectable.
From home user $100.00 donation would be respectable.
From the business community $1000.00 and better donation would be consider respectable,
since most of you already know that the database, the ticker plant, the replay server could
each cost you $50,000 or more if you start including things like maintenance.
