The feeds are streamed over the TCP/IP, wherein the Feed Adaptor uses TCP/Ip socket library to pass messages between the TickerPlant server and the remote end over an duplex connection, whereby a client can initiate a connection with the adapter where it allows traffic of data to flow and remains open for as long as required. The adapter sends and receives raw data over TCP sockets and uses only a minimal protocol using message framing which is fully configurable.

Over the TCP/IP, the feed adaptor makes available Request Only Messages and Request-Response Messages. Data delivery is accomplished through a proprietary transport protocol that allows end-users to subscribe to the data in which they have an interest.

TickerPlant provides information from various exchanges data in CSV file formats via FTP protocol. These CSV files will be deposited in the TickerPlant FTP server at delayed fixed intervals. The FTP server is maintained by TickerPlant and the feed subscribers are provided with authentication details through which their applications can fetch the data CSV files from the FTP servers.

TickerPlant will provide market snapshot data at a fixed delayed interval by depositing structured data files to designated destination folders in the TickerPlant FTP server.

TickerPlant will provide data through their own FTP servers. There may be instances where TickerPlant can deposit the files directly into the Subscribed Users' FTP servers depending on the requirement. The subscribed users will have to obtain the suitable connectivity i.e. via Internet or setting up a point-to-point lease line method to TickerPlant FTP servers for receiving the datafeed. The feed subscribers or the information Subscribed Users will have to develop their software application for processing the data received from TickerPlant servers.
