The two firms began their partnership in Q3 2023 with the release of Exegy’s latest ticker plant platform.
Paul Humphrey, chief executive of BMLL, said: “This [partnership] means that if clients are backtesting historical data and find alpha, they can quickly and efficiently replicate that format in the real-time world.
“We are very excited to join forces and match Exegy’s real-time expertise with BMLL’s historical capabilities. Jointly we are offering a unique transformational product to market participants, helping them understand liquidity dynamics and make better-informed trading decisions at speed and scale.”
The unified stream that bridges Exegy’s real-time OPRA data and BMLL’s historical market data, enabling users of Exegy’s conflation algorithm to benefit from streamlined data alignment.
The move is set to reduce engineering complexity and accelerate time-to-market for critical trading strategies, according to the businesses.
“BMLL’s use of our trusted real-time OPRA data in its historical dataset underscores the quality and reliability of our solutions. We look forward to continuing our collaboration, empowering clients with robust tools for comprehensive research, back testing, and more informed trading strategies,” said David Taylor, chief executive, Exegy.
This update follows news from November 2024 wherein BMLL unveiled the availability of 6 years’ historical, nanosecond unconflated OPRA options data in a cloud-based environment (AWS) – available via BMLL Data Lab and BMLL Data Feed.
In the rest of 2025, Exegy and BMLL are set to continue to deepen their integration by incorporating the BMLL Data Feed into Exegy’s XCAPI API, enabling mutual clients to “seamlessly” transition from historical research to real-time production.
