FIB XPO CENTER is an End-of-Day data service designed for the users of Tradestation 2000i who store real-time data on the FIB30. How often have you found “holes” in the database created by your Global Server TS real-time source? Anybody working with TS trading systems needs database error-free and without “holes”.
XPO FIB CENTER satisfies this needs and provides the customer with all the FIB30 prices with a 1 min. timeframe in the XPO format (the real-time data format used by Tradestation)
How much can incorrect historical data cost you? A wrong operation would cost you much more than the subscription to our FIB XPO CENTER.
FIB XPO CENTER END-OF-DAY: you will receive each day at 18:10 (Italian time) an email with the XPO file containing the FIB30 data with a 1 minute timeframe. The file in XPO format can be easily imported by using the Global Server functions. If there are “holes” or wrong data in your database, these will be filled or corrected using the file received from Stockloader. Your trading system will always be working with correct data.
The XPO CENTER can be subscribed on a 3 months basis. This way, if you will be doing trading online only for some months during the year, you won’t be faced with unnecessary costs.
