Frequently asked questions

What does TickerLayer cover that TraderMade does not?

Stocks across many markets as instruments rather than a short CFD list, ETFs, bond yields, company fundamentals and a market hours API.

Can I start without a sales call?

Yes. TickerLayer is self-serve from the free tier to a Business plan with card or crypto checkout.

Are both derived rather than venue data?

TickerLayer states plainly that all of its data is derived and indicative, built from non-exchange inputs and normalized into one schema.
