Norgate Data

What Norgate Data does

NorgateData Pty Ltd, headquartered in Essendon, Australia, is a privately held provider of survivorship bias-free historical daily market data for individual traders and quantitative researchers. The company's core offering covers US, Australian, and Canadian stock markets along with selected world futures and forex rates, and is differentiated by the inclusion of delisted securities and point-in-time historical index constituent data (covering indices such as S&P 500, Russell 3000, S&P/ASX 200 and S&P/ASX 300) — features that materially affect backtest accuracy. Subscription tiers for US stocks range from Silver (10-year history) through Gold, Platinum and Diamond (back to 1950), with additional packages for Australian, Canadian, futures and forex markets, plus an OTC add-on. Australian stock data extends back to 1992, forex to 1991, and individual futures contracts carry 30+ years of history.

The data is delivered through the Norgate Data Updater (NDU), a Windows desktop application that manages downloads, corporate-action adjustments and database maintenance on the user's local machine, where data is held in a proprietary database format. Access is exposed via native plugins for AmiBroker, Wealth-Lab and RightEdge, Python and Zipline packages on PyPI, and export tasks for ASCII (TXT/CSV) and MetaStock 'Legacy' formats. NDU includes a Data Viewer, a Watchlist Library with historical-index-constituent support, an Export Task Manager, and a CLI utility (ndu.trigger.exe) for batch automation. The commercial platform is the v4.x NDU line, with continuous point releases through 2025 (current version 4.2.2.65, released July 2025).

Norgate Data sells exclusively via its own website to individual end users under a personal-use EULA, with subscriptions available only on 6-month or 12-month terms (no monthly option, no auto-renewal, and no credit-card retention). Pricing is published in USD, AUD, CAD, EUR and GBP, with a 10% discount for the annual term, and new customers validate the product through a fully operational 3-week free trial that includes 2 years of historical data. The company does not sell through resellers, engage in paid advertising, or serve commercial redistribution customers.

Direct peers

• Intrinio: Subscription financial data platform offering US and international stock, fundamental, and reference data via APIs and feeds. Closely comparable subscription-priced data offering targeting fintech, quant, and individual investor customers.
• Alpha Vantage: API-delivered historical and intraday stock, forex, and crypto data with freemium and premium tiers. Serves the same individual quant developer demographic with similar API-based distribution, but lighter on survivorship-bias-free deep history.
• Tiingo: End-of-day US equity and fundamental data subscription with API access aimed at individual and quant developers. Comparable subscription tiering, smaller scale, similar target user profile to Norgate.
• CSI Data (Commodity Systems Inc.): Long-standing provider of historical end-of-day and intraday market data for equities, futures, and indices, with deep multi-decade coverage. Traditional backtesting data supplier for serious individual and institutional systematic traders, comparable position to Norgate in the data quality niche.
• EOD Historical Data (EODHD): Subscription-based end-of-day and intraday historical market data API/feed covering global equities, with tiered pricing similar to Norgate. Most direct head-to-head competitor in survivorship-free historical data for backtesting individual and quant traders.

Emerging players

• QuantConnect: Cloud-based algorithmic trading platform with bundled market data and LEAN engine; Norgate explicitly integrates via the zipline-norgatedata PyPI package. Comparable end-user community (algo traders) and partially overlapping offering on data + backtesting infrastructure.

Others

• Trading Economics: Subscription financial data platform with economic indicators, equities, and forecasts via web/API. Adjacent rather than direct competitor, but serves overlapping individual trader/research customers with comparable subscription pricing models.

Broad incumbents

• Nasdaq Data Link (formerly Quandl): Large aggregation and licensing platform distributing thousands of financial and alternative datasets via API. Broader and more institutional in scope than Norgate, but overlaps in historical financial market data delivery for backtesting and quant use cases.
• LSEG (Refinitiv) Data Platform: Institutional-grade global financial market data, reference, and analytics offering. Operates much further up-market than Norgate but competes for the same underlying workflow (backtesting/quant research) at the institutional tier.
• Polygon.io: Provides real-time and historical US equities, options, forex, and crypto data via APIs. Broader scope and real-time focus, but overlaps with Norgate in historical end-of-day data for US stocks and is increasingly targeting the same retail/systematic quant segment.
