Called MarketDataPeaks.com (http://www.marketdatapeaks.com/), the new site provides a minute-by-minute account of the aggregated volume of market data messages across major North American exchanges. The site highlights the peaks from the current day as well as historic peaks.

"This site is designed to provide unique information on peaks in market data to the financial community -- trading firms, exchanges and regulators," says Jeff Wells, V.P., Product Management at Exegy. "It will help executives stay on top of market data issues and plan for the future."

The historic data will be captured and included in the Financial Information Forum's capacity statistics as part of the organization's collaborative efforts to address issues that impact financial technology operations and development in light of rapid changes occurring in the marketplace.

"We look forward to giving our members insight into market data peaks based on Exegy's aggregated feed data," says Manisha Kimmel, Executive Director of FIF. "Including this unique data as part of the FIF Market Data Capacity Working Group discussions will allow us to further assist our members in planning and provisioning for market data growth."

All data are processed and updated through a single Exegy Ticker Plant in a New York City colocation facility managed by Xasax Corporation. Xasax is a Vendor of Record and Service Bureau, providing end-to-end trading system infrastructure for smaller hedge funds, proprietary trading desks, and financial service providers.

MarketDataPeaks.com features the total number of messages that occur simultaneously in any given second across all live data feeds including NYSE/SIAC, NASDAQ, OPRA, ARCA, BATS and Direct Edge, both Level 1 and 2. The graph displays the highest one-second peak that occurs in each minute. The graph on the site's home page automatically updates every minute.

MarketDataPeaks.com is co-sponsored by Exegy, Xasax and the Financial Information Forum.
