Why is NASDAQ OMX migrating NOII and BookViewer customers to DataStore?

The NASDAQ OMX DataStoreSM offers direct customer access to innovative products including NASDAQ Market VelocitySM and Market ForcesSM, NASDAQ Market Pathfinders and NASDAQ Market Replay. For NOII/BookViewer customers, the DataStore offers enhanced data screens and better system performance than the legacy website.

What display improvements will I get by moving to DataStore?

NASDAQ OMX DataStore offers the following features not currently available on the legacy NOII/BookViewer website:

NOII Display:

  • Ability to view net order imbalance data for both the NASDAQ Opening and Closing Crosses for the full range of NASDAQ-, NYSE- and Amex-listed issues for up to 6 business days.
  • Ability to export NOII values directly into a MS-Excel spreadsheet from the DataStore.

BookView Display:

  • Ability to view the NASDAQ market participant identifier (MPID) associated with each order on the BookViewer display.
  • Ability to aggregate displayable orders by MPID as well as by price level.

Since the DataStore operates on a newer system platform, customers are likely to see processing improvements over the legacy website for the NOII and BookViewer displays. To simplify the billing process, NASDAQ OMX offers a credit card payment option for DataStore.

Will I be able to access Top Lists on DataStore?
