Datafeed Toolbox™ provides access to financial data, news and social media data, and trading systems. You can establish connections from MATLAB® to retrieve historical, intraday, or real-time data streams and then perform analyses, develop models and financial trading strategies, and create visualizations that reflect financial and market behavior.
You can use the streaming and event-based data in MATLAB to build automated trading strategies that react to market events via industry-standard or proprietary trade execution platforms. The toolbox includes functions for analyzing transaction costs, accessing trade and quote pricing data, defining order types, and executing orders.
Supported data providers include Bloomberg®, FRED®, Haver Analytics®, Quandl®, Twitter®, and Refinitiv™. Supported trade execution platforms include Bloomberg EMSX, Trading Technologies® X_TRADER®, Wind Data Feed Services (WDS), and CQG®.

Data
Current and Historical Data
Retrieve current or historical data using MATLAB functions such as fetch, getdata, history, or timeseries, which retrieve data immediately and do not update with changing market conditions. The data retrieved will vary by data service provider.
Real-Time Data
Retrieve dynamic data, such as event-based or streaming data, using the realtime function or by creating an event handler function in MATLAB that is executed each time new data is received from the service provider.
Intraday Tick Data
Use built-in functions to import intraday data into MATLAB. The amount of intraday data that can be imported varies by data service provider.
Importing News and Social Data
Retrieve large amounts of machine-readable news from Refinitiv text file archives. Import Twitter data directly into MATLAB for sentiment analysis using Text Analytics Toolbox™ or by writing your own scripts.

Product Resources:
“When you deal with numbers all day and work with sophisticated analytical models, having an integrated environment is invaluable. With MATLAB we visualize data, conduct back-testing, and plot graphs to see the results of changes we make, all in one environment, and that saves time.”
