Averages over the recorded days of the 30 days to 2026-10-30, from our own recordings of both feeds. Spread = average quoted spread in basis points; top-20 depth = mid-side total notional over the top 20 price levels. The busiest shared pairs first; open a pair for every venue that lists it.
How the comparison is measured
The comparison uses one method for both venues: every trade and every order-book update of each feed is recorded at the venue's full book depth, then rolled up per UTC day. Spread is the average quoted spread in basis points; depth is the mid-side total notional over the top 20 price levels. Because both sides run through the same pipeline, the rows are directly comparable.
The numbers describe market structure, not a recommendation. Liquidity differs by pair and by time of day — the cross-venue analyzer shows the live picture, and the tick files behind every figure are in the Data Shop for your own measurement.

Nothing sampled, no top-N cut, no on-demand capture.
