Market Data Peaks Smashes Through 5 Million!

1 July 2011
Subscribe to our newsletter

Wow!  My favourite website MarketDataPeaks.com hit 5.12 million messages/second – a new record – on June 30.  In part, the new peak is because the service is now including NYSE’s OpenBook Ultra, which only recently got added with an update to the site.  Also, the update fixed an issue with OPRA, which was being under reported.  So expect to see more new records in the near future!

Also, expect to see a version of the service for the Canadian market in the not-too-distant-future, as a result of this work with CFN Services.  A good reason to wish you all a Happy Canada Day!
