Market Data for Brokers in Singapore

Plan a market-data deployment for Singapore around the actual source, hosting route, instrument calendars and consumer requirements.

Operational time and sessions

Singapore-based systems may consume Asian, European and US instruments across different local days. Agree whether chart intervals follow UTC, source sessions or the product display zone before combining live and historical data.

Regional acceptance checks

Include a US-session event that falls on the next Singapore calendar day in acceptance testing. Separate local support scheduling from source-market status, and document ownership of incidents outside the local business day.

Requirements to confirm

  • Deployment city and hosting environment
  • IANA zones: Asia/Singapore and America/New_York
  • Per-instrument holiday calendars
  • Measured route and incident ownership

Bring the proposed instrument list, source documentation and consumer workflow to a technical discussion. The agreed integration specification defines coverage, fields, usage permissions and acceptance tests.

Integration brief

A practical deployment brief for Singapore

Operating locationIdentify the actual hosting city and consumer location before selecting the delivery route.
Time zonesAsia/Singapore. Preserve source and archive timestamps in UTC.
Instrument calendarConfirm the source calendar per instrument, including holidays and session breaks.
Acceptance evidenceRecord the route, test window, clock synchronization and responsibilities for each layer.

Separate location from instrument policy

An Asia-Pacific operating team may monitor instruments whose busiest sessions occur outside its local business day. Define incident ownership by trading session rather than office hours alone.

What to test

  • Test consumer behaviour through the source market open and close, including any daily reset. Keep source timestamps in UTC so logs from Singapore and other regions can be compared.
  • Check that incident ownership covers the sessions your consumers use.
  • Compare source event time with receive time rather than reporting an unexplained latency number.
