Tick Database

Tick databases are real-time database servers which are used for storing, managing, processing, and analyzing tick data purchased from multiple data sources.

A database must be able to do the following:

1. Capture real-time market data (upto tick granularity)

2. Load historical data (upto tick granularity)

3. Aggregate data into daily, monthly intervals

4. Enable queries & analysis on raw ticks or aggregates

5. Enable backtesting or automated signals
