A Feed is a data stream that provides price and other information to enable traders to choose to buy or sell securities and commodities.
Feeds may stream raw data or data that has been filtered, aggregated, or normalised. The format of such feeds may vary, which is why Beeks uses mappers to standardise data into a format it can process. Examples of Market Data feeds are within NYSE Equities: NYSE Integrated, NYSE Openbook Ultra, OpenBook Aggregated).
In Beeks Analytics feed definitions, a Market Data Feed sits in the hierarchy as follows:
Venues
