Common questions
What is Tape and Tick organised around?
The index and the exchange it trades on, session by session across Asian markets. Indices and Asset classes carry the instruments, Sectors groups the reporting, Market structure covers the plumbing, and Flows & listings follows money and new issues.
Is there live market data on the site?
No. There are no quotes, tickers or charts here, because it reports on sessions after they have been covered rather than streaming prices. For live data, use your broker or an exchange feed.
Do you give trading recommendations?
Never. Nothing on the site is a recommendation to buy or sell anything, and there are no price targets, tips or model portfolios. Where a broker view is mentioned it is attributed to that broker and reported as their view.
What is behind each article?
From named financial publications, exchange notices and company filings, summarised with the source credited and linked. A move or a figure belongs to whoever reported it, and the timestamp matters as much as the number.
Who takes responsibility for an article?
Pieces carry no personal byline and are written with automated assistance from the source reporting, crediting the publication instead. Sources and methods explains this.
Any cookies, ads or analytics?
None. No tracking, no advertising and no third-party requests, so nothing about your reading is collected.
