We've released our status schema for #CME data, which provides trading session information such as halts, pauses, short-selling restrictions, auction starts, and other matching engine statuses. 🏦 See whether an instrument is trading, if sending buy or sell orders is permitted, and the reasons behind status changes. 🕓 Systematically identify session start and end times for every instrument. 💻 Build event-based strategies that exploit mispricing around halts, infrequent market dislocations, and more. Check out our blog announcement at https://to.dbn.to/3WtDxz3 to get started. We'll be rolling out support for other datasets in the next three months! #marketdata #tradingsession #securitystatus #markethalts #marketdynamics

We're excited to announce our latest collaboration: QuestDB x Grafana Labs x Databento. This what the modern infrastructure stack for financial services looks like. #QuestDB demonstrates incredible performance on time series data, with queries of over a billion rows per second in the order of milliseconds. #Databento is the only commercial market data solution capable of delivering L2 and MBO ("L3") data over the internet, serving petabytes of data to thousands of customers. #Grafana is the most universal tool for visualizations in the modern infrastructure monitoring stack, loved by systems, devops, and infrastructure engineers all around. All three buck the trend in their respective domains and are leading advocates of open source.
Excited to share a new collaboration between Databento and #QuestDB 🔥 The new infrastructure stack for financial services is emerging! ⚡ Starting from high-fidelity market data real-time APIs, directly from colocation sites. This data can then be processed and analyzed via a new generation of open-source time-series databases without vendor lock-in, that leverage new open formats and standards such as #SQL, #Parquet and #Arrow. Christina Qi thanks for modernizing the market data industry!

Testing strategies in a new market can be challenging. In a relatable story, Greg Harris, a senior quantitative researcher at Fenrir, experienced frustrations with incumbent data providers that are all too common. Databento is built and maintained by people who experienced those same frustrations. Our mission is to alleviate many of the data headaches faced throughout the industry. #proptrading #marketdata

Databento reposted this
I'm excited to announce the launch of Databento's corporate actions coverage—which brings dividends, splits, listings, and more—across 215 exchanges. This is the most significant expansion of our coverage this year and has been many months in the making. The credit goes especially to Chris Sellers and Zach Banks for coming up with new abstractions for static/reference data and just wrangling the sheer number of enums to span the additional exchanges. We're now onboarding users. Learn more and join our waitlist: ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gJEan5vQ #marketdata #finance #equities #stocks #etfs #api #databento
