Market Data & Backtest Data Terms

The Platform shows two kinds of data: live and delayed market data (quotes, chains, indices, news headlines) and a licensed historical options archive used by the Backtester and Simulator. Both are licensed to us by third parties and made available to you only on these terms.

1. Permitted use

• Personal use inside the Platform: viewing, analysing, backtesting, simulating and running your own bots.
• Exporting results of your own backtests for your own records, where the Platform offers an export.

2. Not permitted

• Redistributing, reselling, scraping, bulk-downloading or otherwise passing on any market data or archive data, in raw or derived form, to anyone else.
• Using the data to build a competing data product or feed.
• Circumventing access controls, rate limits or the data-access grant on the archive.

3. Archive access is a grant, not a licence to you

Access to the historical archive is switched on per account by us for a bounded period ("data grant") and can be withdrawn. It is provided for pilot and evaluation use; it is not a redistribution licence and does not transfer any rights in the data. Backtest results are derived from licensed data and are for your use only.

4. No warranty on data

Data can be delayed, incomplete, revised or wrong. Quotes shown as "executable" are the best bid/ask we last received, not a guaranteed fill. Historical archives have gaps (for example, some years or sessions may be missing) and the Platform states known coverage where it can. Do not rely on any figure without checking it against your broker.

5. Attribution and suppliers

Live quotes and chains come through your connected broker or our market-data providers; historical data comes from licensed historical-data archives (ThetaData); news headlines are provided by third-party wires and belong to their publishers. Supplier terms flow down to you where they require it.

6. Termination

Breach of these terms ends your data access immediately and may end your account.
