Display area
Over the last five years, Stachanov has developed expertise in the area of market data display. The projects Stachanov has completed range from back-end data feed processing to the front-end display.

In the back-end data feed processing area Stachanov has developed:
- Telekurs FimsXpress market data feed splitter;
- Telekurs FimsXpress market data feed processor;
- Euronext MMTP market data feed processor;
- Instrument cross matching between various data feeds;
- Market data snapshot file generator;
- Euronext Teletext feeder and EOD snapshot generator;
- JCF consensus data feed processor;
- Comstock Calendar feed processor;
- Financial Times Interactive Dividend feed processor;
- Bond Yield-to-Maturity calculator;
- Option volatility calculator;
- Option pricing module;
- Drawing up specifications for NASDAQ UTP feeds processor;
- Currency swap pricing model, and
- Euronext EMDS feed processor (work in process).


For the various data processors Stachanov has developed two services that can be used by downstream software components:
a. Snapshot services: downstream clients can get snapshot market data quotes;
b. Streaming services: downstream clients can subscribe to the latest incremental or snapshot quote of a specific instrument or a whole market real-time.


These services can either be communicated to the client in a proprietary format defined by the customer, or an industry standard format, such as FIX. All Stachanov market data products demonstrate a high performance in terms of speed and throughput.

In the front-end display area, Stachanov has developed an interactive technical analysis charting module and various web based data displays, both on a snapshot and on a streaming basis.
