Announcing CBOT Electronic Market Depth

Date 03/07/2002

Real-time market depth data from the CBOT's electronic trading platform (a/c/eSM) is now available from participating CBOT®Quote Vendors.

Market depth adds a new tool to your screen!

With the growth in volume on the CBOT's electronic trading system, the need for market data beyond conventional last price information has become more and more important. The new market depth information brings a complete view of the market to your screen by incorporating the buy and sell orders that are pending on the CBOT's electronic trading system. With the full "depth" of the market, you will be able to stay closer to the market's activity and make better trading decisions!

Market depth provides:

  • The resting buy and sell limit orders and their corresponding size on the CBOT's electronic trading system.
  • Depending on market conditions, complete size information for resting orders 10 ticks lower (for bids) and 10 ticks higher (for offers) than the last price traded.
The market depth feature is available from participating CBOT market data vendors. For more information please contact your market data provider or Mark Haraburda at +1 312 341-7984 of the Chicago Board of Trade.
