    • The best five ask and bid levels are taken from constituent exchanges that have had data available for the last 30 seconds.

    • Micro-price is calculated for all bid and ask pairs across exchanges (shown below). For example if there are five exchanges, that will gives us 25 bids and 25 asks that form 625 pairs.
