Market Data Pipeline

The market-data pipeline supplies price and volume context for the assets supported by the active product coverage. It supports research surfaces such as Market Desk, published market events, quantitative context, and reports; it does not turn a market observation into a recommendation.

Canonical candles

Price history is organized into canonical OHLCV candles: open, high, low, close, volume when available, timestamp, asset identity, and timeframe. A canonical series gives product views a consistent basis for charting, historical comparison, and technical calculations even when source coverage differs by market.

Daily candles support EOD history. An eligible market session can also provide a delayed intraday snapshot and short-interval history. The snapshot is not a substitute for a live quote: its timestamp and delayed status remain part of the interface.

Market-specific cadence and freshness

Cadence depends on the asset class, market calendar, timeframe, and available source coverage. Equities may follow trading sessions and holidays; crypto may have a different trading rhythm; foreign exchange and commodities can follow their own market schedules. A source timestamp is the authoritative indication of the data used for a view.

The product can mark a view stale when its data no longer meets the expected cadence for that context. This is an interface state, not a promised universal number of minutes or hours. A page can refresh while its underlying EOD dataset remains unchanged.

Supporting market evidence

Market observations can be published as events when they provide useful movement, anomaly, or contextual evidence. Market Desk keeps these feeds aligned to the chosen asset class so that an event for one class does not stand in for evidence from another.

Where coverage is available, asset detail can add corporate actions such as dividends and splits, fundamentals, and short interest evidence. These are complementary inputs with their own publication schedules and gaps; they should be checked with their timestamp, effective date, or settlement date.

Technical context

Technical calculations use the canonical candle history. Depending on the history available, the asset inspector can offer SMA 20, SMA 50, SMA 200, Bollinger Bands, RSI, volume context, and chart views. An indicator may be unavailable when the selected series is too short or incomplete.

Technical calculations describe the supplied historical series. They are distinct from a quantitative signal and from a financial conclusion. Use them with source evidence and the data-quality state shown in the product.

Limitations

Symbols, market holidays, corporate actions, exchange differences, illiquid periods, delayed snapshots, missing volume, and incomplete history can change how a price move should be read. If a value is material to a decision, verify it against an appropriate primary or market-data source.
