The New York Stock Exchange Receives SEC Approval For NYSE OpenBook Real-Time® - Giving Investors And Market Professionals Faster And More Transparent Market Data

Date 04/04/2006

The New York Stock Exchange received approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission to introduce NYSE OpenBook Real-Time®, a new information tool for investors and market professionals designed to offer customers immediate access to market information, increase the transparency of the NYSE market, and support the implementation of the recently SEC-approved NYSE Hybrid MarketSM.

“In response to customer demand for depth-of-market data, we’ve created NYSE OpenBook Real-Time, a new standard in real-time market information with transparency for stocks trading on the NYSE market,” said Ron Jordan, Senior Vice President, Market Data.  “Innovative products like OpenBook Real-Time, are what investors want and need in today’s marketplace.”

Launching on May 1, OpenBook Real-Time offers a valuable snapshot of the NYSE market and its unparalleled liquidity by providing a real-time view - aggregated and refreshed every second - of the NYSE's limit order book for all NYSE-traded issues.  Building on the success and functionality of the original NYSE OpenBook®, this new product adds another level of speed and transparency to the NYSE market and market data. 

OpenBook Real-Time gives customers instant market information that complements the speed and flexibility of the Hybrid Market platform by providing faster, more readily applicable data to support human and algorithmic trading.   The NYSE Hybrid Market offers the broadest choice of order-execution options to customers by providing the ability to trade electronically, instantaneously and anonymously, while maintaining the benefits of the NYSE auction market.
