Business Wire
ComStock, an Interactive Data (NYSE: IDC) business and a leading
provider of real-time global market data and managed solutions,
today announced that it has further expanded the breadth of content
provided through its high quality, low latency consolidated
datafeed to include additional Level II data from multiple
international exchanges. As traders and investors adopt electronic
trading more broadly and seek greater transparency throughout the
global markets, the demand for Level II data has been increasing
rapidly. ComStock has broadened the portfolio of information that
it offers by adding Level II data from the Swiss Stock Exchange,
the Prague Stock Exchange, the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and the
Intercontinental Exchange. In the coming months, ComStock plans to
offer Level II data from the London Stock Exchange International
Market and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and expand the set of
Level II data available from OMX and the Australian Stock Exchange.
ComStock also expects to offer depth of market data from the Osaka
Stock Exchange and for Hong Kong equities and futures. This depth
of market data supplements the Level II and ECN data from major
exchanges around the world, including the New York Stock Exchange,
NASDAQ, London Stock Exchange and Euronext, that ComStock currently
delivers through PlusFeed. ComStock�s real-time datafeed now offers
data on over 3.2 million securities across asset classes from North
America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Africa. ComStock
does not conflate any of its Level II data, offering customers the
option of receiving all available updates. For customers who prefer
to receive a smaller selection of data, ComStock can deliver
subsets of data from a variety of different sources. �The addition
of more Level II data reflects the needs of our institutional
customer base for additional market transparency with minimal
latency,� said Don Finucane, vice president, marketing and product
management for ComStock. �Having access to depth of market data
that shows the full order book information for a wide range of
global markets can help our customers be more effective in
executing their electronic and algorithmic trading strategies.�
�Algorithmic trading continues to be a fast growing segment of our
business and we have seen strong demand from our customers for
additional Level II data for effectively implementing algorithmic
trading strategies,� said Mark Hepsworth, president of ComStock.

our content with additional sourcing while also remaining focused
on low latency delivery.� ComStock�s PlusFeed delivers financial
