NASDAQ OMX Launches Market Replay Europe
Data Product Provides “Instant Replay” of European Market Activity
Copenhagen, July 1, 2009 — The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:NDAQ) today
announced the launch of Market Replay Europe, a powerful tool that enables
market participants to replay and analyze European market activity in simulated
real-time. NASDAQ Market Replay Europe helps brokers decrease MiFID compliance
costs while enhancing customer service for their clientele.
NASDAQ OMX Market Replay Europe is an innovative trading and compliance tool
that provides intra-day and historical NASDAQ OMX-validated replays and
analysis of the market for equities traded on NASDAQ OMX exchanges in
Copenhagen, Stockholm and Helsinki and on fourteen other major European equity
markets.
Investors and other market participants get access to a complete view of the
market activity in a particular share, down to the millisecond, during the
requested replay period, including every reported trade along with the
corresponding consolidated best bids and offers.
Additionally, Market Replay Europe provides a customizable zoom feature to view
events at the millisecond level to see exactly what happened. Following the
completion of a trade, Market Replay Europe allows users to analyze whether
their trade received best execution and permits compliance officers to confirm
if a trade met compliance standards.
Market Replay Europe can be used by all market participants including
institutional and retail investors, professional and non-professional traders,
and compliance officers. Market Replay Europe enables users to:
• Review a situation for analysis or training
• Analyze whether a trade complied with best-execution requirements
• Review interesting situations and missed opportunities
• Share a replay with clients to confirm best trades
• Send a screen shot to help Trade Support
• Filter by exchange to remove those exchanges not included within the users
MiFID execution policy.
“NASDAQ OMX Market Replay Europe is a highly affordable, proprietary data
product that enables investors and market participants to view the market in
great detail,” said NASDAQ OMX Executive Vice President Adena Frieman. “With
Market Replay Europe, users can discover exactly how orders interacted with the
market down to the millisecond at which the trade occurred, all in an
easy-to-use visual tool.”
