## Introduction

The [tastytrade](http://qnt.co/tastytrade) Inc., originally known as tastyworks, was founded by Scott Sheridan and Tom Sosnoff in 2017. tastytrade provides access to trading Equities, Options, Index Options, Futures, Future Options and other assets for clients with [no account or trade minimums, or hidden fees](http://qnt.co/tastytrade).

The [tastytrade](http://qnt.co/tastytrade) data provider serves Equity, Equity Option, Index, Index Option, Future and Future Option prices directly from [tastytrade's Market Data API](https://support.tastytrade.com/support/s/solutions/articles/43000700385). This page explains our integration with their API and its functionality.

## Sourcing

The [tastytrade](http://qnt.co/tastytrade) data provider sources data directly from [tastytrade's Market Data API](https://support.tastytrade.com/support/s/solutions/articles/43000700385). If you use this data provider, [tastytrade](http://qnt.co/tastytrade) only provides the security price data. QuantConnect Cloud provides the [auxiliary datasets](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/datasets/quantconnect/auxiliary-data.md).

## Bar Building

The data feed is a stream of asset prices collected by WebSockets and distributed to algorithms on the platform.

## Hybrid Data Provider

When you [deploy a live algorithm with the tastytrade brokerage](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/live-trading/brokerages/tastytrade.md#15-Deploy-Live-Algorithms), you can use the [QuantConnect data provider](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/datasets/quantconnect.md), the tastytrade data provider, or both. If you use multiple data providers, the order you select them in defines their order of precedence in Lean, so Lean only uses a provider for the securities that the providers before it don't supply.

We suggest the following configurations, in order of preference:

1. The QuantConnect data provider on its own. It's free and it's high quality, and it covers most asset classes.
2. The QuantConnect data provider first and a provider that fills its gaps second. The QuantConnect data provider doesn't supply Future Options data, so you need this configuration to trade Future Options.
3. The tastytrade data provider first and the QuantConnect data provider last. Use this configuration if you want to trade on tastytrade prices and let the QuantConnect data provider cover the rest.

## Alternative Data

Third-party data providers support most alternative datasets, except data that streams real-time intraday data. If you're using streaming datasets, like the [Tiingo News Feed](https://www.quantconnect.com/datasets/tiingo-news-feed) and [Benzinga News Feed](https://www.quantconnect.com/datasets/benzinga-news-feed), include the QuantConnect data provider as an additional data provider.

## Historical Data

The historical data that's available from the tastytrade data provider for [history requests](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/writing-algorithms/historical-data/history-requests.md) and [warm-up periods](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/writing-algorithms/historical-data/warm-up-periods.md) depends on your tastytrade data plan.

## Pricing

The [Tastytrade](http://qnt.co/tastytrade) data feed is free for personal tastytrade funded accounts but there may be other data charges for professional accounts.
