QUODD is excited to share that the QUODD Overnight API is officially live—and it's already transforming how developers build trading applications and how firms serve their global client base. This is a product of our strategic partnership with Blue Ocean Technologies to bring comprehensive after-hours trading data to our clients.
The traditional 9:30am-4pm trading window for US Markets is quickly becoming one part of a much larger trading day. Markets are expanding into after-hours territory, driven by global investment flows and the reality that financial opportunities don't pause for US market closures. This shift to 24/5 market access represents a timely evolution in how capital markets operate.
For systems and app developers, integrating overnight market data has become quick and easy. No more wasted time wrestling with outdated onboarding with lengthy development cycles or struggling to align your data sources with modern application architecture. Want to embed real-time overnight quotes in your mobile app or trading platform? The path forward is becoming much more user friendly.
For trading firms and investment platforms, client demands for after-hours access have created a competitive pressure point. Clients in APAC and EMEA want to trade US equities during their business hours. Portfolio managers need comprehensive overnight data to make informed decisions. But delivering these capabilities often meant choosing between expensive, complex solutions or disappointing clients with limited offerings.
The QUODD Overnight API represents a fundamental shift in how overnight market data works.
“Blue Ocean Technologies has rapidly emerged as a leader in the US overnight trading,” said Bob Ward, Chief Executive Officer of QUODD. “We are delighted to be partnering with Blue Ocean to provide access to their real-time data to all our clients. This new partnership is the next step towards QUODD’s vision of becoming the premier global financial market data and content provider.”
Comprehensive Coverage, Simple Access: Our API covers all NMS securities trading on Blue Ocean ATS (BOATS) from 8pm-4am Eastern, Sunday through Friday. But coverage is just the starting point—the real innovation is in the delivery. Developers can request quotes for single securities or multiple securities simultaneously, with security identification by symbol, CUSIP or ISIN.
Real-Time Granularity: Down to one-second bars for US securities, with customizable periodicity and chart bars for standard charting periods. This isn't just overnight data—it's overnight data delivered with the precision and flexibility that modern applications demand.
Cloud-First Architecture: By eliminating the complexity of legacy feed integration, we've dramatically reduced time-to-market for applications requiring overnight prices. Developers can now embed real-time overnight quotes in spreadsheets, websites, mobile apps, and corporate applications without the traditional technical roadblocks.
The move toward 24/5 market access isn't a trend. It is representative of the future of global capital markets. As investment becomes increasingly global and technology-driven, the infrastructure supporting these markets must evolve accordingly.
Blue Ocean's ATS has emerged as a leader in US overnight trading, and by combining their market intelligence with QUODD's comprehensive data delivery platform, we're enabling the entire ecosystem to scale forward together.
For developers, this means access to institutional-grade overnight data through modern, scalable APIs. No more wrestling with proprietary protocols or building complex integration layers. The same ease of use you expect from modern cloud services, applied to comprehensive overnight market data.
For trading firms, this means the ability to offer sophisticated after-hours capabilities without the traditional infrastructure investments. Your developers can focus on building unique client experiences rather than solving data integration challenges.
Innovation in financial services often gets bogged down by legacy thinking. The QUODD Overnight API challenges that assumption that complex problems require complex solutions by delivering comprehensive functionality through simple, scalable technology.
This isn't just about adding another data feed. It's about enabling the next generation of trading applications, supporting the globalization of US equity markets, and ensuring that technological capability keeps pace with the market.
The API is live, comprehensive, and ready to power the overnight trading applications your clients are demanding. Because in a 24/5 market environment, your technology infrastructure shouldn't be the limiting factor.
