MANA Tech delivers a complete, vertically integrated, cloud-based solution for data, research, and rapid prototyping and deployment of tools

Cloud computing

Data resides and remains in the cloud to minimize storage and transport costs while maximizing robustness, security and access to on-demand compute power

Domain Specific Languages

MANA's proprietary domain-specific languages, m and SLOB were created explicitly for quantitative finance with an extremely terse syntax which is highly expressive for typical operations in statistical arbitrage

MANA App store

 MANA Tech offers users pre-built tools such as a Portfolio Builder or a Market Simulator, while also allowing users to use our rapid prototyping language to create their own custom built research and trading applications

Market microstructure data contains a goldmine of information with incredibly diverse applications. 

Daily Market Microstructure Series

Daily periodicity series created from direct feeds of the exchanges. These series can be used for many different applications, including backtesting and alpha generation for multi-day horizons, market impact analysis, advanced transaction cost analysis, as well as improving HFT strategies or execution algorithms.

Options Market Data Series

Options markets are a clearinghouse for volatility expectations and convexity in the underlying equity markets.  As such, derived quantities that properly summarize the activity of the options market on an underlying-by-underlying basis have great value for equity traders, in particular systematic equity traders that utilize quantitative approaches for signal generation, backtesting, and portfolio management.   

Intraday Market Microstructure Data

Intraday periodicity series created from direct feeds of the exchanges. Default periodicity is 1 minute and 1 second intervals, but datasets can be created at varying intervals as requested.

Custom Data Series

MANA Tech can also create customized data sets as requested from market microstructure data.
