As each market’s DR launch in Chicago approaches, Nasdaq will alert participants accordingly so that preparation can be made by the customers. Other Nasdaq post-trade, back office and reporting services will be moved to Chicago in early 2016.

All associated data feeds for each market is included in the migration. For an exhaustive list, see our DR Migration website.

Customers must complete the migration of their order connectivity from Ashburn to Chicago prior to the November 9th deadline in order to maintain full DR accessibility.

During the migration of all markets from Ashburn to Chicago, Chicago will be treated as a live Point of Presence (POP) for both receiving market data as well as sending orders. Following the DR launch for each market, Chicago will be considered a “hot” site in which customers can both receive market data and send orders even when the matching engine is live in Carteret, just as Ashburn is configured today.
