This item downloads share volume opening and closing crosses from the NASDAQ crossing network. These are the share volume on the open and close auctions for each security listed on the NASDAQ exchange. The auction will determine the stock official open and close prices.
The data is available starting from 2008 and is saved in a custom database called "crossing". The database has two fields:
opening: share volume for the opening cross
closing: share volume for the closing cross
Example:
To display the opening cross share volume on a chart, type the following formula:
a = getdata("crossing", "opening", Zero);
plot(a, "Opening Cross Share Volume");
The opening cross occurs at 9:30 am and start at 4:00 am while the closing cross occurs at 4:00 pm and start at 3:50 pm.
Generally, two order types are accepted during the opening crosses, the market on open (MOO) and the limit on open (LOO).
For the closing crosses, the orders are the market on close (MOC) and the limit on close (LOC).
Note that for the NASDAQ exchange, all nationally-listed securities are eligible for the crosses and all new listings on the NASDAQ exchange are added to the crossing network on their first day of trading.
Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
