Wall Street Horizon Serves Whole Enchilada to Interactive Brokers Workstation Clients
Officials say WSH's event data is now accessible via 30 million retail active trader desktops.
Interactive Brokers began offering clients access to WSH’s core datasets—forward-looking and historical earnings dates, conference call dates, splits and dividend dates, and board and shareholder meeting dates—in 2010, and soon after added international data.
“As an Interactive Brokers client, you could subscribe to this on a month-to-month basis… and look up and slice and dice information on screen,” says WSH founder and chief executive Barry Star. “However, over the years, a number of their clients came to us asking for the ability to download data—for example, for machine-based analysis and trading…. I would say a machine-readable export capability was the number one thing that clients were asking for.”
Star says the vendor didn’t respond to this demand until now because its client base is mainly institutional hedge funds, rather than “retail” clients, and because Interactive Brokers didn’t necessarily have the resources at the time to support so many downloads, but decided to offer an external download capability at the same time as making all the event data types within its Enchilada platform available through the IB Trader Workstation.
Previously, WSH provided the data to Interactive Brokers via FTP download. Now, Enchilada can be launched directly from within the IB Trader Workstation.
“Now, this provides clients with access to the more than 40 event types in Enchilada. And our web GUI has been enhanced to allow larger watchlists than before, and to allow Excel downloads, rather than just being able to look at data on-screen. For example, if you’re tracking 200 names and you want to follow them over the next seven days, you can now just drop that data into a spreadsheet and do whatever you want with it,” Star says.
WSH’s data will be available to Interactive Brokers clients in two packages: Enchilada Pro, priced at $99 per month, and Enchilada Pro Plus, which includes additional datasets such as Food and Drug Administration trial dates, for $150 per month.
