Nasdaq TotalView-ITCH is a proprietary data feed that disseminates full order book depth and last sale data from the Nasdaq stock market (XNAS). It delivers every quote and order at each price level, along with any event that updates the order book after an order is placed, such as trade executions, modifications, or cancellations. Nasdaq is the most active US equity exchange by volume and represented 13.03% of the average daily volume (ADV) as of January 2025.

With its L3 granularity, Nasdaq TotalView-ITCH captures information beyond the L1, top-of-book data available through SIP feeds and enables more accurate modeling of book imbalances, trade directionality, quote lifetimes, and more. This includes explicit trade aggressor side, odd lots, auction imbalance data, and the Net Order Imbalance Indicator (NOII) for the Nasdaq Opening and Closing Crosses and Nasdaq IPO/Halt Cross—the best predictor of Nasdaq opening and closing prices available. Other key advantages of Nasdaq TotalView-ITCH over SIP data include faster real-time dissemination and precise exchange-side timestamping directly from Nasdaq.

By utilizing real-time data and predictive analytics, companies gain actionable insights to optimize their investment portfolios and financial planning. With the enhanced capability to analyze data trends and assess market scenarios, businesses can mitigate risks more effectively, making this driver critical to the growth of the financial data service market.

Advancements in Analytics Technology to Drive Market Growth

The integration of advanced analytics technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in financial data services has significantly enhanced the accuracy and scope of market insights.

These technologies also allow for real-time insights, giving firms a competitive advantage in rapidly evolving markets. With continuous improvements in AI and ML, the demand for advanced data services is expected to grow, positioning this as a key driver of market expansion.

Restraint Factor for the Financial Data Service Market

High Cost of Data Services, will Limit Market Growth

As a result, high subscription costs prevent widespread adoption among SMEs, hindering the financial data service market’s overall growth potential.

Impact of Covid-19 on the Financial Data Service Market

Nasdaq Basic with NLS Plus is our most cost-effective solution for real-time US equities, offering the broadest coverage and added granularity—such as trade aggressor side—for a fraction of the cost of consolidated feed alternatives like SIP data.

This proprietary, consolidated data feed disseminates top-of-book (L1) data from every Nasdaq-operated venue and covers all US stocks and ETFs, including those listed on the NYSE, NYSE Arca, NYSE American, and Cboe exchanges. As the premium tier of Nasdaq's Basic product, it combines Nasdaq Last Sale (NLS) Plus and Nasdaq BBO (QBBO) to provide: - Best bid and offer (BBO) quotes for the Nasdaq stock market (XNAS), which are within 1% of the NBBO 99.22% of the time. - Tick-by-tick price and size for orders executed on Nasdaq (XNAS), Nasdaq BX (XBOS), and Nasdaq PSX (XPSX). - All off-exchange trades reported to FINRA/Nasdaq's Carteret and Chicago Trade Reporting Facilities (TRFs), which aggregate data from most of the 30 ATSs and account for approximately 45% to 49% of the average daily volume (ADV) in all exchange-listed securities.

With the addition of TRF data, Nasdaq Basic with NLS Plus captures the majority of the trading activity and liquidity within US equity markets. As of January 2025, this dataset represented 62.9% ADV, including both on-exchange and off-exchange trades.

This dataset is an ideal choice for market participants who need an accurate BBO but don't directly execute trades or display quotes for FINRA broker-dealer obligations.
