Accessing Market Data

You are here

Market data is available from authorized vendors or directly from the CSE.

Through an Authorized Vendor

Market Data vendors provide access to the feeds (native and normalized to the vendor’s standard protocol) and also provide display services through work station or internet-based products.

Market access vendors bundle the data with order entry, smart routing and execution management capabilities.

To become an authorized market data vendor, please email marketdata@thecse.com.
