Databento US Equities Summary
Nasdaq disseminates consolidated volume and end-of-day statistics via their Nasdaq NLS+ feed. Databento receives these over UDP multicast in our NY4 data center.
PDF specifications are available on Nasdaq's website for the NLS+ feed.
Schemas
Databento normalizes the consolidated volume provided by the Nasdaq NLS+ feed on every trade into the statistics
schema. This volume is consolidated across all US exchanges.
Databento normalizes the end-of-day summary provided by the Nasdaq NLS+ feed into the ohlcv-1d
schema.
No other schemas are available on this dataset.
Timestamps
Nasdaq NLS+ messages received by Databento have at most one timestamp, which has nanosecond precision.
As with all of our datasets, we also collect a ts_recv
timestamp when the packet was received by our capture server.
The extra field ts_in_delta
does not convey any additional information for this dataset, and is equivalent to ts_recv - ts_event
.
Databento Field | TotalView Field | Description |
---|---|---|
ts_recv |
N/A | The capture-server-received timestamp. |
ts_event |
Timestamp | The matching-engine-received timestamp. |
More details about our timestamps are available in our timestamping guide.
End-of-day Summary
Nasdaq NLS+ disseminates an end-of-day summary via their API at three different times:
- Once at approximately 16:30 ET
- Once at approximately 17:20 ET
- Once at approximately 20:10 ET
Each of those summaries reflects the summary at the publishing time.
Databento only provides the last summary (from 20:10 ET) on the ohlcv-1d
schema, which includes the total post-market volume, published as a single OHLCV-1d message per date. This can lead to discrepancies when comparing against other data sources that use the other earlier summaries.
The first two preliminary summaries are disseminated by Databento under the statistics
schema. The stat_flags
field is set to 1 for the first summary and 2 for the second summary.
