The LSE Directory / Data providers
TraderMade is a UK financial market data vendor that delivers real-time and historical pricing across foreign exchange, cryptocurrency, US stock CFDs, stock indices, precious metals, and energy. Its core offering is a price feed aggregated from tier-one and tier-two banks, market-makers, and data providers, distributed through a REST API, WebSocket streaming, a FIX API, Excel/spreadsheet add-ins, and bulk historical data downloads. The company states its live FX feed updates in under 50ms with 99.99% uptime and serves more than 1 billion FX price updates a day, backed by a historical data library it describes as around 50 terabytes, with minute-bar FX data reaching back decades and tick-level FX data from July 2016 onward. TraderMade specialises in non-skewed FX pricing: rather than sourcing quotes from a single broker or dealing desk, a practice that can bias a feed toward that provider's own book, it blends prices from multiple tier-one and tier-two banks, market-makers, and data providers. It markets this positioning at quantitative traders, fintechs, and data teams that need broker-independent reference rates, rather than at retail chart-watchers. Its stated customer base spans central banks, corporations, financial institutions, brokers, hedge funds, fintech startups, and individual algorithmic traders, and it leans on FIX connectivity plus developer tooling, an interactive API playground and per-language code samples, aimed at institutional and system integration rather than a consumer app. The company traces its FX data collection back to 1984, giving it one of the longer continuous track records among independent FX data vendors. The current operating entity, TraderMade Systems Ltd, was incorporated in the UK in September 2012 (company number 08217895, registered in Bromley, England); an earlier related entity, Tradermade International Limited, was incorporated in 1985 and was dissolved in May 2017. Chris Randall, who has worked at the company since 2000, serves as CEO. TraderMade has partnered with data marketplace Datarade to distribute its feeds and operates a Chainlink oracle node that supplies price data to decentralised finance applications. Beyond its London base, the company also lists an office in Alzano Lombardo, Italy.
