What is DTN Market Access (DTNMA) and why do I need it?
Some brokers feed real time data at a price level that is different from the back fill data received from DTNMA. For instance, the Euro contract from some broker feeds, is fed in with a display format of XXX.XX but when back filled from DTN MA, its format is X.XXXX. To correct this, we can add a multiplier to the DTN Symbol alias as shown below. Just go to Setup → Instruments:
Approximately 90% of our brokerage feed clients use DTN MA for backfill, a good indication of its value.
DTN MA is a historical data service hosted by DTN and marketed by Linn Software to Investor/RT users.
