Real-time financial data feeds are utilized
by a wide variety of business sectors—From financial trading, brokerage, and
investment firms to news media and agencies, to energy and agricultural firms,
and even to academic institutions. These feeds are used are often used for
website displays, helping firms deliver important information to their website
visitors. And when this data is specifically targeted to the website user, that
user will revisit the site for the most up-to-the-minute information. Firms can
actually customize these data feeds to the website visitor they want to
attract. For instance, select real-time data from any of the U.S. Markets;
select an AMEX, NASDAQ, NYSE, or even BATS feed. Choose whether you
want to provide other feeds along with real-time streaming: delayed,
historical, and end-of-day data.
Take the BATS data exchange, as an example.
Why would you want to offer this feed to your website visitors? It is the
third-largest securities exchange in the U.S., representing 10-11% of all
equities trading in the U.S. (9-10% of that coming from the BZX Exchange). Its
popularity may stem from the fact that it does not charge market data fees to
gain access to their real-time data. This represents a real boon in value to
end-users.
Continuing to use this example, displaying
a BATS data feed in real-time, and displaying historical end of day (EOD) data,
goes further to help your website visitors make intelligent decisions for their
BATS investments. This EOD information is often used for charting patterns and
performing technical analysis. EOD data goes hand in hand with real-time data
to offer the investor a full picture of how his or her investments are
performing.
Providing real-time feeds and this kind of
historical end of day data is important to many investors. To be sure that they
can see this comparative data markets that interest them, websites are wise to
offer this information across all exchanges, providing not only a BATS feed,
but also feeds covering the NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX exchanges, too. If your website
visitors are also interested in mutual funds, ETFs and ETN, offer these feeds
as well. Or perhaps your website visitors would find investment information
from overseas markets of importance—Post feeds from the TSX, the ASX, and
equity markets from European, Asian, Australian, and Central/South America. For
