  • 2-Second Cache Refresh

    Real-time data is cached in Redis with a 2-second TTL. Every API call returns data that is at most 2 seconds old.

  • Sub-50ms Response

    Redis caching means most requests are served from memory. Typical response times are 20-50ms including network transit.

  • Live Tick Data

    Raw bid/ask tick data via /v1/ticks. See every price movement with timestamps for sub-candle precision.

  • Real-Time Indicators

    All 42 indicators update with each new candle close. M1 indicators refresh every minute, M5 every 5 minutes.

  • Live Spread Data

    Current bid-ask spread, average spread, and spread percentile — updated in real time for cost-aware trading.

  • Institutional-Grade Source

    Data sourced from live professional market feeds. Same data quality institutional traders rely on.

Real-Time Data Example

python 
import requests, time

headers = {"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"}
BASE = "https://tickatlas.com/v1"

# Continuous real-time monitoring
while True:
    # Latest EURUSD tick
    tick = requests.get(f"{BASE}/ticks", headers=headers,
        params={"symbol": "EURUSD", "limit": 1}).json()
    latest = tick["data"]["ticks"][0]
    print(f"EURUSD bid={latest['bid']} ask={latest['ask']}")

    # Real-time RSI
    rsi = requests.get(f"{BASE}/indicator", headers=headers,
        params={"symbol": "EURUSD", "name": "rsi", "timeframe": "M1"}).json()
    print(f"RSI(M1): {rsi['data']['value']:.1f}")

    # Current spread
    spread = requests.get(f"{BASE}/spread", headers=headers,
        params={"symbol": "EURUSD"}).json()
    print(f"Spread: {spread['data']['current_spread_pips']:.1f} pips\n")

    time.sleep(2)  # Match the 2-second cache TTL

Frequently Asked Questions

How real-time is the forex data?

Data is ingested from professional market feeds and cached in Redis with a 2-second TTL. Typical end-to-end latency is under 50ms from API request to response.

What real-time data formats are available?

Real-time OHLCV candles, pre-calculated indicators (42 total), raw tick data (bid/ask), spread data, and AI market summaries. All in JSON format.

Can I get streaming real-time data?

Currently we offer a polling REST API. For real-time monitoring, poll at your desired interval — the 2-second cache ensures fresh data on every call.

What is the rate limit for real-time data?

Trial: 30/min, Starter: 120/min, Pro: 600/min (10/sec), Enterprise: 6,000/min (100/sec). Pro and Enterprise handle continuous real-time polling.

How does the data reach the API?

Our professional data infrastructure pushes data from institutional-grade sources to our ingestion endpoint. Data flows through PostgreSQL for persistence and Redis for real-time caching.
