Specify whether the application needs a Nasdaq-100 index reference, an associated futures contract or a broker CFD.
Do not substitute a derivatives quote for an index value solely because it updates in an extended session. Capture the series identity and source, and keep any broker-specific NAS100 label mapped to its actual instrument construction.
Review reference update times, session transitions and historical series availability. Display and redistribution permissions must be checked for the selected source; this page does not grant index data rights or imply publisher affiliation.
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.
| Instrument scope | Identify the exact underlying, source identifier, quote currency and intended use. |
|---|---|
| Consumer workflow | List trading platforms, charts, risk tools and applications that need the output. |
| Delivery contract | Agree protocol, quote fields, timestamps, source status and recovery behaviour. |
| Production review | Confirm source rights, integration ownership, test evidence and commercial scope. |
For index instruments, define who consumes the prices and what each system needs to reconstruct a usable quote. An application dashboard, broker platform and historical process can require different delivery rules even when they share one normalized instrument model.
