What is being announced?
Nasdaq Canada is offering Nasdaq Basic Canada's fee waived to all subscribers effective June 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020. This waiver applies to all fees associated with the Nasdaq Basic Canada product.
What is Basic Canada?
Nasdaq Basic Canada is a consolidated market data product providing an alternative solution for accessing Level 1 data for Canada-listed securities. Nasdaq Basic Canada provides data from across Nasdaq Canada’s three Trading Books:
- Nasdaq CXC – A key lit pool of liquidity in Canada that provides users a reliable trading platform for Canadian equities.
- Nasdaq CX2 – Offers further cost savings and trade efficiencies that leverage Nasdaq INET technology through a unique pricing model and broker preferencing functionality.
- Nasdaq CXD – Alternative dark pool of non-displayed liquidity that was launched due to client demand, which delivers advantages like trading-at-the-touch and competitive pricing, along with other easy-to-use features.
What is the Security Coverage of Nasdaq Basic Canada?
Correction 05/04/2020: 100% of all TSX, TSX-V and CSE listed securities are eligible to trade on Nasdaq Basic Canada. Any instrument that quotes or trades on any of the three Nasdaq Canada Trading books will be available via the Nasdaq Basic Canada product as well as the traditional individual product entitlements.
What makes Nasdaq Basic Canada unique?
In addition to providing a complete record of all trade reports from Nasdaq Canada’s three Trading Books in a single consolidated market data product, Nasdaq Basic Canada also combines the liquidity available across CXC and CX2 to create a Nasdaq Canada BBO.
This new type of quotation message provides users with the best bid and ask across CXC and CX2; but also provides details of attribution, allowing for a deeper level of market insight on a single entitlement.
