Capital Changes Daily Direct Data Feed

The Capital Changes Daily Direct Data Feed (DDF) product provides subscribers with the "raw" data behind the capital changes that are tracked and reported on a daily basis. The data is provided to subscribers to facilitate subscribers' integration and use of capital change information in their internal systems. Filtering, sorting and other types of data manipulation are the responsibility of the subscriber.

A variety of records are used in the direct data feed transmission. These records denote the start and end of a day's transactions, define how data is stored on data records, and contain the raw capital change data.
