89 products carry this category. Categories are tags, so several of these also appear elsewhere.
What is meant by Market data?
Supply of prices and market information — real-time, delayed or end-of-day — for the instruments a firm trades and holds, together with the entitlements and distribution controls that licensing requires.
Who uses Market data?
Everyone, usually without knowing where it came from.
What gets confused with Market data?
Reference data, which describes what an instrument IS rather than what it is worth. A security's identifier, issuer and terms are reference data; its price is market data. They are usually bought separately and often from different vendors.
What should you ask a vendor about Market data?
Cost is driven by entitlements and redistribution, not by the data itself. Model your actual user and application counts before comparing quotes.
