Trading Technologies
Introduction
Trading Technologies (TT) was founded by Gary Kemp in 1994 with the goal to create professional trading software, infrastructure, and data solutions for a wide variety of users. TT provides access to trading Futures, Options, and Crypto. TT also provides a charting platform, infrastructure services, and risk management tools. TT is not actually a brokerage. The firm is a brokerage router with access to more than 30 execution destinations.
To view the implementation of the TT integration, see the Lean.Brokerages.TradingTechnologies repository.
The Trading Technologies data provider serves Futures prices directly from Trading Technologies' Market Data API. This page explains our integration with their API and its functionality.
Sourcing
The Trading Technologies data provider sources data directly from Trading Technologies' Market Data API. If you use this data provider, Trading Technologies only provides the security price data. QuantConnect Cloud provides the auxiliary datasets.
Hybrid Data Provider
When you deploy a live algorithm with the Trading Technologies brokerage, you can use a third-party data provider, the Trading Technologies data provider, or both. If you use multiple data providers, the order you select them in defines their order of precedence in Lean. For example, if you set QC as the first provider and Trading Technologies as the second provider, Lean only uses the Trading Technologies data provider for securities that aren't available from the QC data provider. This configuration makes it possible to use our data provider for Equity universe selection and then place Options trades on the securities in the universe.
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 and Benzinga News Feed, include the QuantConnect data provider as an additional data provider.
Historical Data
The historical data that's available from the Trading Technologies data provider for history requests and warm-up periods depends on your Trading Technologies data plan.
