The full exchange feed vs dataset-based market data
Some systems need the feed before it gets sorted into datasets.
The full exchange feed vs dataset-based market data
Some systems need the feed before it gets sorted into datasets.
Dataset-based platforms give you clean, well-structured access to market data organised by venue and schema. For teams with a clear scope, that works really well. NxCore is designed for teams that need the full raw feed without pre-selecting datasets. You get everything the exchange produces, delivered as a single continuous stream. The right choice depends on how your system is built and what it needs to consume.

WHERE DATASET PLATFORMS WORK WELL
The data is clean and pre-normalised with microsecond-precision timestamps. Usage-based pricing suits teams that know exactly which venues and schemas they need. Good documentation and strong community support make them easy to get started with.
WHERE NXCORE IS A BETTER FIT
- Your system needs to ingest the full exchange feed without choosing subsets upfront
- You need one continuous stream rather than multiple per-dataset subscriptions
- Your team handles normalisation in-house and wants raw data
- Dataset selection does not fit your pipeline architecture
NXCORE ADVANTAGE
NxCore gives you a single continuous raw feed across the full exchange. No dataset selection required.
