Exchange Data Limitations

Latency

Exchange data limitations frequently manifest as temporal gaps between actual trade execution and the broadcast of price information to external participants. Quantitative analysts must account for this inherent lag when developing low-latency strategies, as stale data can lead to inaccurate model inputs and suboptimal order routing decisions. Relying on delayed feeds often results in slippage, directly eroding the profit margins of high-frequency trading systems operating in volatile derivatives markets.
