TMX IP to Include Alpha-X / Alpha DRK Books - Updated

Attention TMX IP Customers

Further to Notice 2023-028, TMX has announced a revised date for the Alpha-X / Alpha DRK books. The launch date is now scheduled for October 23, 2023.

TMX IP has completed development for the Alpha-X / Alpha DRK books. All client interfaces previously permissioned with Alpha data will be permissioned with Alpha-X / Alpha DRK data on October 13, 2023. We encourage clients to validate their connectivity to the new CDF-ALX feed for Alpha-X / Alpha DRK. Any business content received on Alpha-X / Alpha DRK multicast streams prior to Oct 23, 2023 will be for testing purposes and should be treated accordingly.

No additional paperwork is required to be completed by TMX IP customers in order to receive and display Alpha-X / Alpha DRK market data via TMX IP as TMX will provision CDF Alpha- X / Alpha DRK Feed access to all clients who are currently accessing the TMX IP CDF Alpha Feed.

TMX IP has revised all specifications to include Alpha-X/DRK and all updated specifications are now available on the TMX Webstore
