CQG Data Factory Pricing – Tick Trades-Only, Second Bars & Level 1 Data
Traditional CQG Data Factory Pricing
Traditional CQG Data Factory pricing is not used with Portara. A far less expensive and flexible solution is now readily available.
Tick – Trades Only
Also supplied as time agnostic data such as volume bars, a format choice at the trades-only price. Second bars have their own section below.
Millisecond timestamps with volume as standard, plus optionally, deletes, inserts and update corrections, and current market state.
We also supply Time Agnostic Data such as Volume Bar Data with your selected base. Please see our sample data page for detailed information.
| Trades Only – Size Band | Data Size 2014 to Date | Millisecond 2014 – Current | Millennium 2000 – Current | Full History Inception – Current | Going Back By The Year Per Historical Year | Minimum Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Under 150 GB | $695 | $895 | $1,095 | $125 | $500 |
| Huge | Over 150 GB | $1,295 | $1,495 | $2,495 | $330 | $1,000 |
Millisecond = 2014 to date. Millennium = 2000 to date, offered for markets born before 2000. Full History = inception to date. A market born between 2000 and 2013 is offered Millisecond and Full History at the Millennium price; a market born in 2014 or later is offered Millisecond only. A market born in 1998 or 1999 gets its full history at the Millennium price: the year or two before 2000 is included as a bonus. All prices are per symbol, one-off, individual or continuous contracts at the same price. The size band is shown on each product page, where you can buy directly.
Choose how far back to go. Tick data always runs up to the present day. Every product page has a slider that sets how many years back from today you want, priced at the per-historical-year rate above, subject to the minimum order. You pay for complete years only: the current year to date is included at no charge. On Huge datasets the current year is charged pro rata by month. You choose how far back, and the set always runs to date. Closed historical windows such as 1987 to 2010 are not sold separately. The Millisecond, Millennium and Full History packages are special offers against the per-year rate.
Timestamps before 2014: millisecond timestamps begin in mid-2013. Before that, tick data is minute resolution – each trade carries its minute only, no seconds or milliseconds, in the order it traded.
Time agnostic bars such as volume bars are a format choice built from the trades-only data at the trades-only price.
Deletes, inserts, update corrections and current market state are formatting choices and do not affect the price.
NinjaTrader compatible trades only, 2014 to date, is $695 for every symbol, or go back from today as far as 2014 at $125 per historical year with a $500 minimum order – see NinjaTrader pricing.
Second Bars – 1 to 60 Seconds
Open, high, low, close and volume bars built from every trade, at any bar size from 1 second to 60 seconds. Second bars are built like minute bars and share their format family.
| Second Bars | Coverage | Full History 2014 – Current | Going Back By The Year Per Historical Year | Minimum Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Any bar size from 1 to 60 seconds | Every trades-only symbol, 2014 to date, no size bands | $495 | $95 | $475 |
One price for every symbol, one-off, individual or continuous contracts at the same price, in your timezone and format. Choose 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 second bars when you buy; other sizes up to 60 seconds on request.
Why 2014? Second bars need timestamps finer than a minute, and millisecond timestamps begin in mid-2013. Second bars therefore start in 2014 on every market.
Choose how far back to go. Second bars always run up to the present day. On the product page the slider sets how many years back from today you want, as far back as 2014, at $95 per historical year, subject to the $475 minimum order. You pay for complete years only: the current year to date is included at no charge. Closed historical windows such as 2014 to 2018 are not sold separately. The $495 full history is the special offer against the per-year rate.
Where to buy: on any Tick – Trades Only product page, choose Second bars in the Format dropdown.

Trades with Best Bid & Ask (BBA) – every trade with the bid and ask that stood at the time, one row per trade. The NinjaTrader compatible BBA, 2014 to date, is $895 for every symbol, or go back from today as far as 2014 at $175 per historical year with a $525 minimum order.
