FINRA makes short sale trade data publicly available for off-exchange (i.e., OTC) trades in exchange-listed securities reported to a FINRA Trade Reporting Facility (TRF), Alternative Display Facility (ADF) or Over the Counter Reporting Facility (ORF).

Equity Report cards created to help firms track their compliance with key equity trading rules related to OATS, Best Execution Outside-of-the-Inside, Market Order Timeliness, Trade Reporting and Reg NMS trade throughs.

The End-of-Day TRACE Transaction File includes all transaction data disseminated as part of Real-Time TRACE transaction data on that day. The End-of-Day TRACE Transaction File is provided to subscribers after the TRACE system closes at the end of each trading day, and is available separately for each data set for which Real-Time TRACE transaction data is available (i.e., the Corporate Bond Data Set, the Agency Data Set, SP Data Set and Rule 144A Data Set). This data product includes the same transaction data elements disseminated in the Real-Time TRACE transaction feed.

TRACE data is available in the form of data feeds, either directly from FINRA or from retransmission vendors. Parties wishing to receive real-time TRACE data via a data feed must enter into a Vendor Agreement directly with FINRA. This agreement stipulates, among other things, the terms of use and data usage reporting requirements. 

Media outlets wishing to receive and redistribute the bond market aggregate statistics are required to execute an agreement with FINRA, after which access will be provided via a secure API connection. There are no fees associated with these data sets.

The TRACE Security Activity Report is a monthly report, provided on a 90-day delayed basis that provides aggregated statistics by security for corporate and agency bonds. The Report can be used to monitor trading activity for individual CUSIPs.

TRACE Enhanced Historical Data consists of transaction-level information including the price, the date and time of execution, transaction size and the yield. In addition, the data includes information previously not disseminated to the public, such as buy/sell indicators and counterparty (dealer or customer) information.

The Academic Corporate Bond TRACE Data set contains historic transaction-level data on all transactions in corporate bonds reported to TRACE. This data product is available solely to institutions of higher education and is intended to support academic research on corporate bonds by providing academics with access to masked identifying information regarding the dealer reporting each transaction.
