kdb Insights Enterprise Transaction cost analysis

Launch

In this demo, we will build and configure a transaction cost analysis solution on kdb Insights Enterprise. Transaction cost analysis (TCA) is a critical tool for evaluating the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of trading activities. It involves measuring the costs incurred during the execution of trades, including explicit costs like commissions and fees, as well as implicit costs such as market impact and opportunity costs. By analyzing these factors, TCA helps traders and portfolio managers optimize their trading strategies, reduce unnecessary expenses, and improve overall performance. Click here to begin.

The schema defines the structure and organization of the database, including how data will be stored and how tables will relate to each other. Click Add Data Column to continue.

The data ingestion process is managed by pipelines, which are powered by the kdb Insights Enterprise Stream Processor, a streaming service for transforming and analyzing both real time and historical data. We will begin by expanding Readers to show all available operators. Click Readers to continue.

Pipelines can also be deployed using industry standard code such as Python or our proprietary language q. In this example via the KXI 'command line Interface'. Click here to continue.

By using the GetData API, users are able to query both real-time and historical data using a simple parameter builder. In this example, we calculate the open high, low, and close values for all stocks in the US market for an entire day. Click SQL to continue.
