ISE Launches Historical Options Tick Data Offering(TM)

  
    
  
  
    
      The International Securities Exchange (NYSE: ISE) today announced the 
      official launch of its Historical Options Tick Data™ 
      offering (ISE HOT Data™), the first in its 
      suite of new market data products. The ISE HOT Data offering includes 
      the full daily tick file of all trades and quotes for equity and index 
      options that are reported to the Options Price Reporting Authority 
      (OPRA). These comprehensive, historical data files will enable 
      sophisticated investment professionals to conduct in-depth trade 
      analyses, back-testing of trading models, and will serve as a data 
      source for compliance requests and time and sales queries.
    
    
      Historical options data has not previously been available as a complete, 
      end-of-day file. Dr. David Reynolds, Chief Technology Officer of 
      Quantlab Financial LLC, states, “We require 
      complete and reliable data for our market analysis. Options market data 
      is particularly challenging because of the extraordinary quote volume, 
      but ISE met our needs by providing quick delivery of the OPRA data in 
      the industry-standard format that is easily read by our data loader.”
    
    
      ISE currently provides two ISE HOT Data offerings to meet investor 
      demands. The first product is an annual subscription to a daily 
      end-of-day file that is accessible as a flat file from a FTP server over 
      the Internet. The second offering provides flexibility to make ad-hoc 
      requests for a specific range of dates. The ad-hoc requests will be 
      processed and delivered on a portable hard-drive device which can be 
      reused by the client. In an effort to make this data accessible and 
      cost-effective, both offerings are delivered as compressed files to 
      reduce necessary bandwidth requirements.
    
    
      ISE HOT Data is an important component of ISE’s 
      ongoing initiative to expand its Information and Market Data business. 
      Two additional products, an enhanced version of the ISE Sentiment Index® 
      (ISEE®) and Depth of Market Data, are slated 
      to launch in the coming weeks.
