Data Fields: Symbol The exchange-assigned characters representing a specific equity. Quantity Imbalance The quantity imbalance is the difference between the present buy volume and the sell volume participating in the auction. Prior to the opening auction (8:00 a.m. ET) the quantity imbalance is the total imbalance for all limit orders. Between 8:00 and 9:30 a.m. ET this quantity reflects the market order imbalance only. Total Imbalance The number of shares of buy orders minus the number of shares of sell orders. A positive Total Imbalance means an excess of buy orders and a negative Total Imbalance means an excess of sell orders. Matched Volume The number of shares that are matched. Indicative Match Price The price at which all matched shares would trade at the time the Auction is run. Indicative Net Change The difference between the Indicative Match Price and the previous day's close. Total Dollar Value of Delta The Delta is a comparison of the Indicative Match Price and the ArcaEx last sale. In particular, if the Market Imbalance is less than zero (indicating a sell imbalance), Delta is the ArcaEx Last Sale minus the Indicative Match Price. Otherwise, Delta is the Indicative Match Price minus the ArcaEx Last Sale. Bid Price The price of the highest price buy order. Ask Price The price of the best priced sell order. Close Price The price at which the equity closed the previous trading day. ArcaAuctions do not necessarily represent the best bid or offer in the marketplace.
