Tick Data, a subsidiary of OneMarketData

Tick Data, a subsidiary of OneMarketData, was founded in 1984 by a futures broker and a programmer. It made history by being the first company globally to offer historical tick-by-tick prices for futures and index markets. The company overcame the limitations of computer hardware at the time and developed a pioneering collection and compression system that could capture and store every tick in major US futures markets, building a database that stretches back to 1974, making it the largest of its kind. In June 1999, Chartered Financial Analyst Thomas Neal Falkenberry, also a Tick Data client, acquired the company. This acquisition provided him with a robust data platform to launch his new asset management firm and hedge fund, while also meeting the stringent data requirements of other institutional clients. In January 2005, Neal and his partner, Scott Mayster, sold Tick Data to Penson Worldwide, Inc., which integrated Tick Data into its technology subsidiary, Nexa Technologies, Inc. Today, Tick Data operates under the leadership of Neal and Scott. The company's product offerings have expanded to include equity, options, futures, cash index, and market indicator data. The customer base includes some of the largest financial institutions, universities, and over 10,000 individual traders and system developers. Throughout its history, Tick Data has aimed to make research-quality data accessible to all traders, maintaining its commitment to being the premier provider of global historical data solutions. The last investment in Tick Data was a Venture Round investment at 11 April 2013, with Tactito being the investor.
