The Exchange Guide
The Exchange Guide provides an easy to use, up to date, web interface to a database with a timeline of the 27 key issues that every Market Data Manager wants to know about every exchange. Content is provided with accuracy, rapidity and reliability to manage a firm's liabilities.
Industry experts have bundled and normalised the data distribution rules in an easy-accessible, easy-to-navigate online database so that you are in an excellent position to understand what is allowed and what is not allowed with the data you have in use. For each Exchange, 27 key topics have been documented for easy reference. The assessment of the rules appears followed by relevant quotes from the Exchange contracts and a link to the contracts on the Exchange web site. Compliance can be monitored historically by having access to historical rule sets which can be selected by date.
With the Exchange Guide market data consumers are up-to-date with special terms available by Exchange product. It takes away any uncertainty about the data usage reporting to vendors and exchanges and, as a result, avoids unexpected charges as a result of audits. The Exchange Guide also puts the market data consumer in an excellent position to reduce the market data spend by having insight in the most appropriate alternatives compared to the costly fee-liable real-time data products. (consider delayed terms, market depth, MTFs).
