"We are confident that Exegy will deliver transformative value to their clients through their differentiated market data technology and high-quality service."
The NEO Exchange NITCH market data feed will provide market by order visibility into its Lit Book and market by price visibility into its unique NEO BookTM. The NITCH feed will also deliver trade reports from its Crossing Facility and Dark Book when it launches in 2016. In addition to real-time distribution via UDP multicast, the NITCH feed includes two TCP-based channels for the replay of recent data gaps and the recovery of current book state.
"Exegy is prepared to support the full-breadth of market data features of the NEO Exchange," says Exegy chief information officer Scott Parsons. The NEO Exchange NITCH feed is the latest addition to Exegy's portfolio of over 200 feed handlers for global equities, options, commodities, and currency markets. "Our feed handler roadmap is customer-driven, and we have experienced strong growth in the deployments of Exegy appliances to support trading in Canadian equities and commodities," adds Parsons. Exegy provides the NEO Exchange NITCH feed handler at no additional charge to all customers consuming North American equities and commodities data feeds as part of its Managed Services.
The user-defined composite features provided by Exegy hardware-accelerated appliances enables clients trading Canadian equities to optionally include one or more Aequitas venues in consolidated views of real-time pricing across Canadian markets. "Our clients will benefit from the ability to dynamically include or omit pricing from the Aequitas Lit Book and NEO BookTM in their user-defined BBO and user-defined composite book views," says Exegy chief technology officer David Taylor. "The availability of NEO market data preserves the ability to utilize these user-defined composite pricing views for regulatory compliance and equips our clients to achieve best execution," adds Taylor.
