1. Real-time Data - While it is impossible to guarantee real-time
speed 100% of the time, the majority of incoming data during market hours may be delayed anywhere
from
500ms up to 15s depending on a variety of
factors (network connection, network load, data processing time). Every effort is made to get the
data
to you as quickly as possible. Any data that is manually uncovered but considered a valuable
addition
for our customers may be manually added at any time but will be time-stamped according to when the
transaction took place and will be alerted in your dashboard.
2. Dark Pool Data - Due to the nature of dark pools, it is not
possible to report transactions in real-time. WhaleStream will provide you the data as soon as the
exchange reports the order or it is
reported to FINRA's Alternative Display Facility (ADF) which may be a few hours later, the next day,
or
in some
cases (when a dark pool transaction occurs on a Friday) it may not be reported until the next
Monday.
Please note that at the moment, equity block and print data is delayed up to 15 minutes due to
exchange
regulations. We are actively working on doing away with this delay. All data appearing under the
Equity
Block trades may not all be dark pool prints, but the data is equally as valuable due to the nature
of
how trading algorithms collect and act on this data. WhaleStream identifies and differentiates dark
pool
transactions and public exchange orders within the dashboard.
