"Professional market participants will have access to the complete set of NASDAQ order data at a more attractive price," said Adena Friedman, Executive Vice President, NASDAQ Data Products. "And, active non-professionals will have easier, more affordable access to TotalView, providing them with new opportunities to employ unique trading strategies previously limited to professional traders."
TotalView is a powerful tool that allows investors, market participants, and issuers to view the full depth of the NASDAQ market. Through this tool, investors can see all of the order depth provided by each individual NASDAQ market participant within the top five price levels in the NASDAQ market. Coupled with NASDAQ's existing Level II service, traders and investors can have a complete view of all of the active order interest in the NASDAQ market. The tool will allow users to see the drivers of the market, participants' additional interest within pennies of their best quotes, and view anonymous order interest submitted to SuperMontage.
Non-professional users of TotalView will now pay $5 per month (incremental to the existing Level II price of $9 per month) and professional users will pay $40 per month (incremental to the existing Level II price of $30).
"TotalView's transparent look at SuperMontage depth and liquidity helps users make better-informed investment decisions by better enabling them to identify trading opportunities, pursue unique trading strategies, follow pockets of liquidity over time, and better understand how orders are distributed throughout the market," said Ms. Friedman. "TotalView is an excellent tool to help all market participants and investors achieve their trading and investment goals."
