Sirca – new member notification
Welcome to the University of Ballarat, Sirca’s newest member!
ASX PureMatch
Continuing the theme of adding new Australian equities coverage to our Ausequities database, we confirm that the new ASX PureMatch feed will be incorporated into Ausequities. We need to complete a few tasks to get this feeding into Ausequities, we estimate that this will be achieved by end January 2012.
AusEquities will show the PureMatch instrument code with an “_APM” suffix, for example BHP_APM, which will show the PureMatch market data for that instrument. We will post again when this work is complete.

Chi-X Australia data available to Sirca members
Sirca is pleased to announce that it has been capturing and archiving full order-book market data from Chi-X Australia from its launch date on 31st October 2011. The relationship with Chi-X marks new territory for Sirca, being the first time we have built the infrastructure to capture market data in real time from a trading venue.
It is our plan to make Chi-X market data available to members alongside ASX data in the Australian Equities service so that market data can be requested from both venues using a familiar interface. Watch for this to become available in 2012.
If you are interested in having early access to the raw Chi-X market data (which is in a format similar to NASDAQ ITCH), please contact us.
