Nasdaq Trader: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Access market statistics, regulatory notices, and short interest data to help manage your trading activities.
Nasdaq Trader is a resource provided by the exchange to give market participants access to essential trading information and official updates.
Who it's for
This service is designed for traders who require official exchange-level data to manage their trading activities. It is particularly useful for individuals who need high-level market statistics and regulatory information directly from the source to ensure their trading strategies are informed by the most accurate exchange data available.
What you get
Users can access a variety of critical information sets through this platform. This includes detailed market statistics that track activity, short interest data which shows the number of shares that have been sold short, and official regulatory notices issued by the exchange. These tools are intended to help traders navigate the complexities of the market with better visibility.
What it costs you
The cost of using these resources depends on the depth of information you need. Basic data is available for free. However, if you require more comprehensive information, such as full depth-of-book data through services like TotalView, you will be required to pay a fee. You should check the official portal for the current amount and specific pricing tiers for premium data.
The catch to know
A common mistake for users is ignoring the differences between data provided during standard market hours and data provided during extended trading hours. Because market conditions and information availability can change outside of regular hours, you must be careful to identify which time period the data you are viewing covers.

- Evaluate your specific trading needs to decide if you only require the free basic data or if you need to pay for full depth-of-book access.
- Follow the registration steps on the portal to set up your access to the specific data feeds required for your strategy.
