Volume Traded at Price Datafeed?

Recommended Posts

Guest TomH

Hi,

 

I am a newbie, just arrived through a link to this site that was posted to the R stats list.

 

I would like to incorporate some of the VWAP ideas into my strategy, however the tools I use don't have access to the volume traded at price information in the video presentations. Can anyone suggest what datafeeds I need to use to get that?

 

Thanks,

 

T

Thinking about it, the Volume at price can be calculated from the intraday price/volume tick history, assuming I can something that will backfill.

 

I am currently using strategies written in R to generate signals, is there a platform that would manage the data backend, and allow me to query it using SQL?

Just about all historical data will have time price volume. Different charting apps are better or worse at managing data....most are proprietary in how they do it. There is also tendency nowadays for applications to get data on demand and simply 'cache' it to disk.

 

You may be better off managing your own data and putting it into a SQL database. I would have guessed that you should be able to find some free/inexpensive middleware to sit between the data providers api and your database. If there is no requirement to do it real time you could simple export data from a suitable charting package (usually comma delimited) and massage that. Or some data managers/charting apps will act as DDE servers (if my memory is not playing tricks).

 

I guess it depends how frequently you want to get data and whether you need real time too.

Can you say more about your requirements?

 

Lets say you have a table with rows of volume@price. What is your requirement for time resolution on the table columns?

- daily columns

- 30 minute columns

- 5 minute columns

 

Have you already thought out the SQL schema for your database? Can you share those ideas?

 

If the SQL tables only updates once a minute, would that latency be too long for your signals?

 

If you only want Volume@Price to calculate VWAP, could you eliminate that requirement if some data source calculated VWAP for you?

 

......

 

Some brokers can provide "free" data using their API if you have a funded active account. example: IB (Interactive Brokers)

 

Is there some way to exchange data between TradeStation's EZlanguage and another program? I don't know.

 

You can buy realtime datafeeds from eSignal or DTN, then use a program like QCollector to do timed updates of CSV datafiles. You can write a program to poll these datafiles and update a database (like mySQL or PostgreSQL.)

 

Yahoo Finance and even some exchange web sites (CME) have end of day data available for free.

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
