On 8th September 2026, SIX Group AG launched a new data platform that makes it easier, more accessible and affordable to access market data through an API-based solution aimed at both institutional participants and retail investors. The SIX Market Signal service makes real-time and historical data available. For institutions, it expands access to market data to a wider variety of users within the organization, while for retail clients, it offers direct access to real-time market data from exchanges for the first time.
The main component of SIX Market Signal is 1BBO, a pan-European market data stream that provides real-time coverage of securities in the markets of Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the 16 European markets covered by Aquis Exchange. 1BBO displays the best buy and sell prices in real-time and is based on data from the order books of SIX Swiss Exchange, BME Exchange in Spain, as well as the UK, European Union and Swiss markets in Aquis. Faster price access is only possible through direct feeds, used by market makers and execution desks. 1BBO is complemented by historical and intraday data products, and more datasets are anticipated to be added to the SIX Market Signal market over time.
SIX Market Signal enables companies to extend access to market data beyond the execution desk into other areas such as wealth management, benchmarking, and regulatory compliance. The service is aimed at organizations that benefit from continuous access to real-time pricing.
For retail investors, SIX Market Signal provides access to high-quality market data that balances cost and speed for investors’ everyday use cases. Through 1BBO, SIX seeks to contribute to a level playing field among retail investors.
Users of the new service are fully licensed to use the data provided via APIs in the creation and training of trading models and AI agents. This allows retail investors, fintech companies, banks, and brokers to incorporate SIX Market Signal into a wide variety of use cases, without restrictive conditions or complex limitations.
SIX Market Signal incorporates viaNexus technology, enabling real-time data distribution, permit management, cloud API delivery, and integration into quantitative and AI workflows.
