Future improvements to Market Data Feed

Telekurs Financial is pleased to report that the ongoing project to upgrade the Market Data Feed (MDF) has seen the successful implementation of the feed prototype.

The new infrastructure upgrade will reduce typical latency to as little as 15ms over the whole processing cycle and open up a range of new delivery options for clients. It is scheduled to be implemented from June 2006 to April 2007, with initial coverage including the top 40 global stock exchanges by data volume. The resultant additional capacity will mean that the complete range of 2.5m securities covered by Telekurs Financial will benefit from the infrastructure change.

Telekurs Financial data will continue to be delivered seamlessly in a fully integrated and cross-referenced format, but there will be some new delivery options available to clients as well as the existing methods:

Clients will now be able to take local data directly from their local Telekurs Financial data collection centre, without data being passed first to Telekurs Financial's central database.
A complete (validated but unfiltered) high bandwidth, tick-by-tick delivery covering the global data universe.
A solution tailored to the client's requirements, with bandwidth & content adjusted accordingly. A bandwidth-optimised feed expressly designed for display applications, e.g. for Telekurs iD.
Clients will be able to use the new MDF infrastructure to take exchange feeds directly, and integrate those feeds with the MDF feed, where a direct feed from a local exchange is required by the client.

Telekurs Financial is proud of its data consolidation, integration, filtering and validation expertise and is keen to bring these qualities further into the real-time market. By offering a range of delivery options, Telekurs Financial aims to work in partnership with its clients and prospects to make sure that clients know exactly what data they will receive and what latency can be expected.

The latency figures quoted above have been achieved with tests clients in Switzerland integrating data from the following stock exchanges:

European Warrants Exchange (EUWAX)
Swiss Exchange (SWX)
North American Securities Dealers Autoquote (NASDAQ)
Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME)

The new Telekurs Financial delivery architecture will include a flexible system known as predefined volume disposition. In times of financial or economic turbulence, exceptional trading volumes may appear and under these circumstances, bandwidth allocation will be dynamically redistributed in an automated and transparent manner to ensure clients continue to receive critical data from the areas affected. The algorithms involved will take into account regional data preferences and will be discussed in detail with all MDF clients.

Telekurs Financial continues to innovate in financial data markets and looks forward to extending its reputation for consistency, integrity, transparency and punctuality to the benefit of clients who need real time real-time data.
