Our data expertise

FAQs on Trades & Order Data
What is Trades & Orders data in OTC energy and commodities markets?
Trades & Orders data provides visibility into live bid, offer, and executed transactional activity across OTC brokered markets. Unlike indicative price feeds, this dataset captures the actual order flow and resulting trades that form market liquidity across bilateral agreements in physical and financial markets.
This enables market participants to observe where executable levels are forming across fragmented regional markets.
How does Parameta’s Trades & Orders data differ from exchange market data?
Exchange data typically concentrates liquidity into a limited set of listed reference points, and contracts.
In contrast, most trading activity across oil, gas, power and metals occurs over‑the‑counter across regional hubs and bespoke structures.
Parameta’s Trades & Orders datasets capture this bilateral market activity across:
- Location‑specific pricing
- Time spreads
- Product differentials
- Basis and structure
Providing visibility into executable pricing levels and liquidity formation that may not be reflected in exchange settlements.
Why is order flow visibility important in OTC markets?
OTC markets are inherently fragmented, with liquidity distributed across multiple brokers, hubs and product structures.
Access to live order flow enables:
- Comparison of trades
- Detection of structural dislocations
- Monitoring of basis changes
- Identification of liquidity pockets
- Improved trade timing decisions
Particularly during periods of low liquidity or market stress.
