Configuring Market Data for VeighNa Paper Trading and Analysis
Summary
The discussion explains two data needs when running simulated trading in VeighNa. For live simulated trading, the platform must connect to a market interface, with a test account and CTP given as examples, so it can receive real-time quotes. For historical analysis, indicator calculations, or strategy backtesting, a separate historical data source is needed.
Suggested historical-data options include external providers such as RQData or Tushare, or VeighNa’s DataRecorder module, which can save observed market data to a local database. The practical distinction is that connecting a simulated trading interface supplies live quotes, while research workflows may require stored history. The answer offers configuration directions but not step-by-step settings, compatibility details, or troubleshooting guidance. It also does not discuss data quality, coverage, delays, or the licensing terms of the named services, so users would need to verify those for their setup.
Key ideas
- Simulated live trading requires connecting a test account through a market interface to receive quotes.
- Historical analysis and backtesting require access to historical market data.
- External providers such as RQData or Tushare are presented as possible historical data sources.
- VeighNa DataRecorder can record market data locally for later use.
- The discussion gives a high-level distinction but no detailed setup steps or data-quality assessment.
