I had the following email exchange with the good folks at the NYSE today. I wasn't trying to bait them or be sarcastic, my questions were sincere (but after their second response I was a bit flustered):
<b>Me:</b> Sirs:
Is it possible to obtain Member trading activity statistics daily, or perhaps hourly?
Thank you,
<b>Them: </b>This information is proprietary and is not available to the public.
Thank you for your interest in the New York Stock Exchange.
<b>Me:</b>How often is the information made public, and how can I obtain in as timely a manner as possible? [I guess I wasn't paying close attention when I wrote this.]
Thank you.
<b>Them:</b> This information is not available.
<b>Me:</b> Sirs:
It is printed weekly in Barron's, in the Market Laboratory section, under the heading "NYSE Member Report". I am seeking a more efficient way of collecting it.
It seems odd to me that an exchange whose principle activity is to provide a fair and orderly market would consider statistics on 30% of its volume to be 'proprietary.' Why is this so?
Thank you.
