Increase the accuracy and reliability of your backtests with point-in-time data


Datastream offers a variety of point-in-time data sets. As the only data set to include all reported values, timestamped to the moment that they were made available to the market, point-in-time data is unique in showing you exactly what information was available and when, allowing your quants and data scientists to backtest against real conditions.

The result: more accurate backtests, more realistic results and greater confidence that your strategies will perform as expected.
Not using point-in-time data overstates the performance of your backtests; results cannot be replicated in real markets.
