Why Histo Data
-
Do you have a trading strategy you'd like to backtest but struggle to find high-quality market data?
-
Are you limited to free daily close data from Yahoo and need access to one-minute or one-second intervals?
-
Have you bought market data before but found it too costly to sustain, affecting your profitability?
-
Would you benefit from unlimited access to comprehensive market data at a predictable flat cost?
If you answered yes to any of these, then HISTO DATA app is a perfect fit for you!
Meet Our Founder
Sebastien, a seasoned Commodity and Options Trader with over 20 years of experience, faced a persistent challenge: managing trading data efficiently.
Fragmented sources, inconsistent formats, and manual retrieval processes consumed hours that could have been spent analyzing markets.
Realizing many traders shared this frustration, Seb created Histo Data—a powerful app designed by traders, for traders.
Our Services
We prevent traders making costly trades
01
Built for Backtesting
The historical market data retrieved can be used directly in strategy backtesting for accurate performance insights.
02
Trader-Centric Design
Created by traders, for traders. If you need a new feature, simply request it, and we’ll work to make it happen.
03
Uninterrupted Operation
Leave your TWS account active, the app will run continuously and notify you via text message if your account disconnects or when the data pull is complete.
How it works
Interactive Brokers Integration
Ensure you have an Interactive Brokers (IB) account with a market data subscription.
​
Log in to the Trader Workstation (TWS) or IB Gateway, which will enable HISTO to connect to your account.
Flexible Data
Storage
HISTO allows you to choose between database storage and CSV files.
​
Set your preferred storage format in the settings to ensure the data integrates smoothly with your existing trading tools.
Predefined
Templates
HISTO provides easy-to-use templates for common data pulls. For example, if you need 1-second OHLC data for all S&P 500 stocks from 2016 to 2019, simply select this template or customize it as needed.
Data Integrity
Checks
HISTO ensures data quality by correcting inaccuracies and providing intervals as precise as 1 second. Future updates will add features to fill missing data gaps in IB's database.
Automated Data Retrieval
Once your data pull template is set, HISTO will automatically retrieve and store the data without requiring any supervision.
Options Data
(IV & Greeks)
Though IB’s API lacks historical IV and Greeks, HISTO uses proprietary algorithms to calculate them, giving you access to critical options data.
