Our Story

From Frustrated Quants
to Data Pioneers

PipData was born from a problem every serious algorithmic trader knows too well: your backtests look great, but live performance tells a completely different story. The culprit? Data that doesn't match your actual broker's feed. We were a team of quantitative analysts and infrastructure engineers who had spent years fighting this exact discrepancy — paying for premium data providers whose tick history simply didn't reflect what IC Markets, Pepperstone, or OANDA actually delivered in production.

In 2021, after one too many strategies blowing up at go-live due to spread differences and timestamp mismatches, we decided to stop complaining and build the solution ourselves. We reverse-engineered the broker-bridge layer first — the hardest part — creating direct integrations that capture tick data exactly as your broker transmits it. No normalization artifacts, no resampled candles pretending to be ticks.

From there, the platform grew organically around real trader needs: WebSocket streaming for live algo feeds, a clean REST API for historical queries, Forex Factory news integration for fundamental context, and an embeddable charting library for visualization. Today, PipData serves prop firms, independent quants, and retail algo traders across 40 countries — all united by a demand for data that actually matches reality.

Our Mission

Democratizing
Institutional Data

"

Every serious trader deserves access to the same quality of market data that hedge funds use — at a price that doesn't require a hedge fund budget.

The PipData Team
"

For too long, institutional-quality Forex data has sat behind six-figure licensing fees and enterprise contracts. We believe algorithmic traders and independent developers deserve the same edge — without the enterprise price tag.

Our Values

Principles We Build By

Client-First Data

We never sell, share, or analyse your trading strategies or data usage patterns. Your API keys, query history, and strategies are private — always. Zero data monetisation, zero exceptions.

Radical Transparency

No hidden fees, no surprise overages, no "contact sales for pricing." Our plans are public, our rate limits are documented, and our invoices are exactly what you expect. What you see is what you pay.

Engineering Excellence

Every millisecond matters in algorithmic trading. We obsess over latency, uptime, and data fidelity. Our infrastructure is engineered, not assembled — and we hold ourselves to institutional-grade standards at every layer.
