NASDAQ Options Market – Data Products
Overview
The NASDAQ Options Market, owned and operated by NASDAQ OMX is a fully electronic trading system for options. Trading on the NASDAQ Options Market offers immediate and automatic price improvement to orders. Orders designated to use the options routing feature are routed to other markets to ensure orders get the best price available. The entry of an innovative, low cost competitor like NASDAQ OMX benefits options trading through increased competition and reduced trading costs.
To facilitate trading on its options market, NASDAQ OMX has developed proprietary data feed products that are designed to promote full market transparency with minimal latencies.
