What is market data?

Your view of North American exchanges

Market data gives you the information you need to see the big picture in the major North American markets. The data provides the last price, change and the latest bid and ask price. This information is displayed in the level 1 quote area of the stock or option quote tab, watch list and level 1 gadget.

Market data for every level of trading

No matter your needs, we’ve got you covered. Every self-directed account comes with free real-time snap quotes on all platforms. Plus, our (free) Edge platforms also offer real-time streaming data, so your quotes refresh on their own. You’ll find real-time streaming Level 1 data for stocks and ETFs listed on the following exchanges:

  • TSX
  • TSXV
  • NASDAQ (via CBOE One Summary)
  • NYSE (via CBOE One Summary)
  • NYSE AMEX (via CBOE One Summary)

If you want to dive deeper on your trading journey, we also have three monthly packages that provide extra market data on additional North American exchanges.

What are the benefits?

Never miss an opportunity

With market data, you get the information you need to make informed and timely trading decisions. Knowledge is power and market data delivers the stats, trends and activity you need to build your knowledge.
