Data conversion and distribution systems

A method for converting and distributing data comprising:

• receiving, by a data subscription unit having at least one data interface communicatively coupled to a plurality of data source devices, data from the plurality of data source devices;
• transmitting, by the data subscription unit, the data via secure communication over at least one network;
• receiving, by a data receiver module of a virtual machine, the data from the data subscription unit, the virtual machine comprising one or more servers, a non-transitory memory, and one or more processors comprising machine readable instructions, the virtual machine communicatively coupled to the data subscription unit;
• running, by a data conversion module of the virtual machine, the data through one or more of filters and conditions to generate backtesting data;
• running, by the data conversion module, the backtesting data through one or more statistical algorithms to generate one or more metrics of the unified data;
• running, by the data conversion module, the backtesting data through one or more non-statistical algorithms to determine one or more relationships amongst the backtesting data;
• generating, by the data conversion module, backtesting results based on the one or more metrics and the one or more relationships;
• translating, by the data conversion module, the backtesting results into one or more interactive visuals;
• generating, by the data conversion module, a graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying the backtesting results and the one or more interactive visuals on a user device;
• and
• updating, by the data conversion module, one or more of the displayed backtesting results and the one or more interactive visuals in response to one or more of user input via the GUI or updates to the data, the update being processed without re-running the one or more statistical algorithms and the one or more non-statistical algorithms.
