BMLL Market Lens: The View from the Feed is created using data analytics from the BMLL Data Feed, an API feed containing 500 daily and intraday analytics derived from the full Level 3 order book.

Below is a selection of metrics used by BMLL clients to better understand the market. Contact us to discover how BMLL Data Feed analytics and market data can enhance your market insight.

Indices:

  • Europe - Cboe UK100, Cboe CH20, Cboe DE40, Cboe FR40, Cboe IT40
  • APAC - AU200, JP30, CN50, HK82
  • Americas - Nasdaq US100

Across an index, the values are aggregated using a weighted mean of the considered metric with the lit trade notional of that listing and smoothed using a 10-day rolling average. The Notional Liquidity and Trade Notional has been converted to Euros from all other currencies. The conversion rate uses the daily rate published by the ECB. On each bar chart, the white whiskers span the 25th to the 75th percentile, also weighted by the lit trade notional, to show the distribution width.


Volatility

The standard deviation of the log returns the mid-price of the lit order book on a venue during continuous trading, using a sampling frequency of 1 minute. The volatility is annualised, assuming a standard 8.5 hours in a trading day and 252 trading days in a year.

Quote to Trade
