Real time market data services

Real time market data services provides all the activity of the London Stock Exchange markets, live, as it happens. This service is essential for traders, brokers and fund managers – and for anyone else who follows both UK and international markets. Real-time data is delivered by our data feed system Infolect.

The Exchange has been voted ‘Data Provider of the Year’ for two consecutive years at the Inside Market Data awards – reflecting our world-leading exchange data services to the global market.

This section provides more details on the different levels of data available:

• Infolect - Infolect is one of the fastest real-time information delivery system of any Exchange in the world. The reduced latency of data delivery gives our customers a competitive edge in markets where every millisecond can make a difference.
• Performance Channels - Performance Channels are high speed delivery mechanisms that increase the rate at which data is sent out to the market via Infolect. The service ensures data at low latency levels during periods of high trading activity and peaks or spikes in data output.
• FTSE indices - A comprehensive range of real-time FTSE indices is available over Infolect allowing customers to benefit from associated synergies of receiving both market and indices data from a single source, over a single connection.
