JERQ Middleware Market Data Server

The JERQ Middleware market data server is the gateway to Barchart’s normalized market data feeds.  Barchart maintains direct connectivity to each exchange and normalizes each exchange message format through Barchart’s data feed handlers (e.g. FIX/FAST, CQS, CTS, UTP, etc.) into Barchart’s proprietary and compressed Digital Data Feed (DDF) format.  Barchart’s market data feeds are then relayed from the JERQ server to the client (server-based or client-based).  Most clients interact with JERQ through Barchart’s .NET or Java API, however clients may write their own interaction to JERQ.  The JERQ server is typically managed and hosted within Barchart’s data centers, however, hosting of the JERQ server by a third-party is available.
