Tutorial 1: Create Market Data

Market data is our solution for storing financial market data. To use any of our services, you need to store the relevant data involved in Market Data. It allows you to store historical price data and technical indicators for any number of assets. The platform can calculate various technical indicators and offers a wide range of tools to process both raw price data and technical indicator data.
To do so, Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume (OHLCV) data of the assets are required. This data can be fetched from different databases.
In the following sections of this tutorial, we will discuss how to create Market Data, add technical indicators to it, and use QuantiX functions to further process this data

  6. By clicking on Create, QuantiX connects to the data provider and downloads the OHLCV data of the selected pairs for the given timeframes. Note that it can take sometime if you select many pairs or use high resolution timeframes when the time span of the market data is relatively large.

Note that one can also use Import Market Data option from Market Data menu to upload the price data associated with Forex assets by using .csv files. To read more about this feature,please refer to Import Market Data.

How to Edit Market Data

When a market data is created, it will be opened in a new tab. This tab is always accessible by using Edit option from Actions menu in front of the name of the market data in Market Data Table.

Grid allows you to read the data of the market data in a table.
Chart draws candlestick charts for the assets in the market data.

To add a new technical indicator or any other data to the market data, use the Add Feature button. When you click on Add Feature, a new window opens. In this window, you can select various technical indicators, price patterns, candle patterns, etc., to add to your market data.

If the market data includes multiple timeframes, you can also select the timeframes to which the selected feature will be added. By default, the system adds features to all timeframes.
When a technical indicator or any other feature is selected, the related settings are displayed. Configure the settings according to your preferences and click Add.
In the figure below, the RSI indicator with default settings has been added to the market data:

All added features are shown in a table in the Market Data tab. You can edit the settings of the features or remove them from your market data at any time using the Edit and Delete options in the Actions menu.
