I was doing some consulting with data companies who needed help figuring out how to monetize their data, and it sort of morphed from there into a data company." Vinesh delves into the origins of ExtractAlpha, distinctions between working in quant trading and the data world, dealing with industry trends and more.

We've released our status schema for #CME data, which provides trading session information such as halts, pauses, short-selling restrictions, auction starts, and other matching engine statuses. 🏦 See whether an instrument is trading, if sending buy or sell orders is permitted, and the reasons behind status changes. 🕓 Systematically identify session start and end times for every instrument. 💻 Build event-based strategies that exploit mispricing around halts, infrequent market dislocations, and more.
