IT – INET Nordic – Nasdaq Nordic and Nasdaq Ba

Nasdaq Nordic and Nasdaq Baltic have decided that the go-live date for the service is February 20, 2017.

NLS is an optional direct data feed product offered by Nasdaq Nordic and Nasdaq Baltic. NLS feed will include new MiFID II required fields, utilizing Market Model Typology (MMT) standard trade flags, for the purpose of post-trade transparency.

Trades from current OTC Trade Publication Service or from the future Nasdaq Nordic Approved Publication Arrangement (APA) are currently not included in the NLS feed.
