I shoulda, woulda, coulda posted this earlier today, but better late than never. Our new NYSE Order Imbalances product went live before this morning's opening. It increases the amount of information available in advance of the two most critical points of the trading day.
Google and CNBC will be the first information providers to buy last-trade data from NYSE and offer it free to the public. Real time. Free to the public. Authoritative, from NYSE. All good things.

The reconstitution takes place this Friday, 27 June. Some 164 NYSE-listed stocks will be entering or exiting the Russell indexes.
According to the firm: "ConvergEx also tripled its percentage of NYSE market share during the same time frame, which has led to a significant move up the NYSE's Broker Volume Top 10 rankings. The NYSE Broker Volume Top 10 provides a way to identify the leaders in equity orderflow and lists the top 10 NYSE member firms by volume."
