Blue Ocean ATS (BOATS) is the dominant market leader in overnight equity trading. If your broker offers overnight trading, there is an almost certain chance they are using Blue Ocean to power their markets. With some of the tightest spreads, rivaling daytime NMS exchanges - BOATS data is an impeccable source for traders routing orders overnight, or for non-US traders who need market hours that fit their timezone.
BOATS spreads compete with NMS day-time hours, but made available overnight. Over 12,000 securities are quotable. For an example of how competitive BOATS spreads are, a sample file of market statistics is available here: BOATS Market Data Statistics 2026-06-22.xlsx
Tiingo worked with the BOATS team to find a way to make this data accessible to individuals and businesses. Using our market data pipelines, you can now receive streaming trades, volume, and top-of-book level data in real-time.
This is execution-quality, backtestable data that you can run your analysis on directly from the most liquid overnight venue in the market — all made available via Tiingo's APIs at cost for individuals.
Updates use Tiingo's standard equity firehose array layout (message type, exchange timestamp, nanoseconds, ticker, bid/ask/mid or last price and size, and trade flags). If you already consume Tiingo IEX or consolidated equity websockets, integrating BOATS is straightforward.
We aim to have consistent uptime as well as some of the fastest servers possible with optimized in-memory caching, so we can deliver data quickly and consistently. Check out our independently-audited uptime here: Tiingo Uptime
