The
Exsys SYMBOL Finder
Developed as a search engine so that users
can find, exploit and manage ThomsonReuters market data more efficiently.
This is especially useful for customers who need to track market data for
instruments being traded by their own customers.
Most
ThomsonReuters users are faced with an array of desktop applications and
underlying databases from which to extract and monitor market movements.
The user typically wants to do his/her job by finding data quickly and
effectively without having to know which application to use and which
database to query.
The
Exsys Symbol Finder was developed with the objective of simplifying the
search for ThomsonReuters Instrument Codes on the various Reuters databases.
Over
the years Reuters services have evolved and expanded enormously with many
new sources of data from many new markets and new instruments. It is
increasingly difficult to track the “rules” which have been introduced
to find and build the Reuters Instrument Code (the RIC as it is commonly
known) – the bedrock of all ThomsonReuters market data.
Key
Features of Symbol Finder include :
- Main
query screen covering Forex, Equities, Options, Warrants and Bonds.
- Each
query screen provides specific search criteriae for the instrument.
- Depending
on the level of detail given to the query screen the browser will
return a “drill down” to locate and present a range of SYMBOLs or
alternate names for further searches.
- The
result screen displays a range of fields for the SYMBOLs including
Display Name, Currency, Code (Cusip/Sedol etc..), the current pSymbole,
exchange etc.. The range of underlying fields is customisable.
- After
identifying the SYMBOL the user can then “submit” it to the
DataBridge as a new instrument and thereafter for market updates to be
sent automatically into the backoffice.
- Batch
Mode – this enables the customer to process a batch file via the
SYMBOL Finder and therefore assist in converting and identifying large
numbers of instruments.
- API
Support – via Internet Explorer browser or via commands sent to the
ESF engine using a standard TCP/IP channel and port combination.
- Bulk
submit feature – for example all the Options for an underlying
Equity can be identified and transferred as a “Chain” to the
DataBridge.
- Automatic
identification of current Symbols on Reuters. Every midnight the ESF
runs a check and replaces those Symbols that have changed because of
changes by Reuters (notably the source exchange extension.
- Extract
all the underlying Options for an Equity symbol and deploy the symbols
to DataBridge or other applications.
- Extract
all the underlying Options from a list of Equities and deploy the
symbols to DataBridge or other applications.
- Optional
Login screen with password control for secure access by authorised
users.
