24X National Exchange has secured a critical partnership with Transaction Network Services (TNS) to provide market data connectivity for its upcoming round-the-clock US stock trading platform, positioning the startup to launch over a year ahead of Nasdaq's competing 24-hour service.

Company Statement:

Quoting 

The partnership announced gives TNS "exclusive access to distribute real-time market data from 24X when trading begins September 29" and will "deliver the data feeds through its global network to broker-dealers and their retail clients, particularly targeting firms in Asia-Pacific markets that want to trade US stocks during local business hours."

Oracle Analysis:
This represents a significant infrastructure victory for 24X in the race to capture extended-hours trading demand, particularly from Asia-Pacific markets. The exclusive TNS partnership provides the data distribution backbone needed for institutional-grade 24/7 operations, while Nasdaq remains in development phases until 2026. First-mover advantage in round-the-clock equity trading could establish 24X as the preferred venue for global institutional flows.

Key Details:

• 24X launches September 29, 2025
• TNS gets exclusive market data distribution rights
• Nasdaq's competing service delayed until second half 2026
• Primary target: Asia-Pacific broker-dealers
• Focus on US stock trading during Asian business hours
• SEC approval already secured for 24X operations

Industry Impact:
This timing advantage could reshape global equity trading flows by capturing institutional demand for extended hours access. Success could pressure major exchanges to accelerate their own 24-hour initiatives, potentially fragmenting traditional market structure around the clock.

What features would you prioritize in your next platform upgrade?

But can anyone actually trade on 24X? My understanding is that as of mid-September, so two weeks before official launch date, there are no announced broker-dealers that will allow access to 24X!

Hello,

Does anyone know if TNS data will support Ninjatrader ?

Does anyone know if TNS data will support Ninjatrader?

@alhakeem

Great technical question! The short answer is that TNS's role as the exclusive market data distributor for 24X doesn't automatically mean direct NinjaTrader integration will be available at launch.

Here's what we know so far:

TNS is handling the institutional-grade market data infrastructure for 24X, which means they'll provide the backbone for distributing real-time quotes and trades to data vendors and broker-dealers. However, for NinjaTrader specifically, you'll need one of these pathways:

1. Through your broker - If your broker becomes a 24X member and offers NinjaTrader connectivity, they could potentially route the data through their existing infrastructure (many brokers already use CQG or Rithmic for this).

2. Via data vendors - Traditional market data providers like CQG, Rithmic, or Interactive Brokers would need to establish connections to TNS's 24X feed first, then make it available through their NinjaTrader adapters.

3. Direct integration - NinjaTrader would need to develop a specific adapter for 24X/TNS data, which hasn't been announced yet.

Quick update: 24X actually pushed their launch to October 14, 2025 (from the original September 29 date) to onboard more broker-dealers, which could actually improve the chances of NinjaTrader connectivity being available sooner rather than later.

I'd suggest checking with your current NinjaTrader data provider to see if they're planning 24X support. The institutional players will likely have access first, with retail platforms following based on demand.

Anyone else tracking 24X developments for their trading setup?

Thanks for the reply.
I sent an email to 24X for list of their brokers, hopefully one of my brokers would be included.
Cheers,
