Nasdaq PSX TotalView-ITCH ("PSX TotalView")
ITCH is the revolutionary Nasdaq outbound protocol
Overview
The Nasdaq Group, Inc. launched Nasdaq PSX (PSX) on October 8, 2010, which is the only exchange to offer a price/size priority model for trading U.S. equities.
In conjunction with the new PSX market center, Nasdaq introduced the proprietary data feed, Nasdaq PSX TotalView-ITCH (PSX TotalView), which provides order level data with market participant attribution for the new PSX market center.
Benefits & Features
PSX TotalView shows you every single quote and order at every price level in Nasdaq-, NYSE-, NYSE MKT- and NYSE Arca-listed securities for the new market center. The data feed does the following:
- Provides full order depth using a series of order messages to track the life of a customer order in PSX
- Offers trade data for PSX executions that occur within the PSX market
- Supports administrative messages, such as:
- Trading Action messages used to inform market participants when a security is halted or released for trading
- Symbol Directory messages to provide basic security data such as the market tier and Financial Status Indicator
The data available via PSX TotalView allows you to:
- View all displayed quotes and orders
- Access total displayed anonymous interest
- See total size of all displayed quotes and orders
