Shepherd’s extensive multi-market experience across North America has positioned the company to support a broad range of industrial applications, from drilling and completions to production facilities, LNG infrastructure, marine operations, and critical industrial assets.

Establishing a permanent regional presence strengthens Shepherd’s ability to provide responsive technical support, operational expertise, and scalable safety solutions to international energy operators in increasingly complex operating environments.

The expansion also reflects the growing global demand for intelligent gas detection systems capable of delivering faster response times, improved data visibility, predictive safety insights, and greater operational confidence across critical infrastructure environments.

dxFeed Adds Order Imbalance Data for Nasdaq TotalView

Published

By

New event type in dxFeed’s QD model gives trading firms a structured, real-time view into supply and demand dynamics ahead of Nasdaq’s opening and closing auctions.

NEW YORK, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — dxFeed, a global provider of market data and financial technology solutions, announced Order Imbalance data support for Nasdaq TotalView. The addition gives trading firms direct access to one of the few data types that reveals real demand and supply imbalances before an auction clears — a rare window into aggregate market intent at the most critical points of the trading day.

Opening and closing auctions concentrate a disproportionate share of daily volume and anchor the reference prices that flow across the market. Yet for most participants, the direction and magnitude of an auction only become clear after the cross. Order Imbalance data changes that: it shows the difference between buy and sell interest at a given reference price, the number of paired shares eligible to execute, and indicative auction prices — updated in real time as order entry progresses.

For High-Frequency Trading (HFT) firms, market makers, and execution algorithms, this translates directly into edge. Order Imbalance data enables traders to anticipate where a large institutional flow is positioned, identify short-term price pressure before it appears in the tape, gauge unmatched volume still seeking liquidity, and estimate where auction price is likely to clear. That means the ability to reprice quotes ahead of the cross, hedge exposure, participate intelligently in closing and opening flow, or extract alpha from a strong imbalance signal — rather than reacting after the fact.

Within dxFeed’s offering, Order Imbalance has been added as a native event type in the QD model of market events — the same framework clients use to consume quotes, trades, and other market data across feeds. There is no separate integration path: firms get auction insight directly alongside the data they already process.

“Order Imbalance data addresses a part of the trading day where timing and information matter most. Adding it as a native event type in our QD model lets clients integrate auction insight directly into their existing workflows — without any additional complexity,” said Stepan Bolshakov, Managing Director at dxFeed.

dxFeed is a leading market data and financial services provider for the global capital markets, named by the Fund Intelligence Operations and Services Awards.

Level Up Math Launches K-8 Adaptive Platform as 1.5 Million Eighth Graders Lack Basic Math Skills

Published

on

By

A free assessment, mastery-based practice, and plain-language parent reports. At a fraction of the cost of tutoring chains.

AUSTIN, Texas, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Playful Digits today announced the launch of Level Up Math, an adaptive K-8 math practice platform that helps parents find and fix their child’s math gaps before high school exposes them.

On the 2024 Nation’s Report Card, 39 percent of US eighth graders scored below NAEP Basic in math, over 1.5 million students heading into high school without the foundations algebra demands. Yet nearly nine in ten parents believe their child is on track.

Level Up Math closes that awareness gap. It begins with a free assessment across five Common Core domains, then turns the results into a plain-language parent report that names the two or three skills to fix first, often a grade or two behind the child’s current schoolwork.

“Almost no child is genuinely bad at math,” said Mihai Seceleanu, founder of Level Up Math. “Usually a foundation went shaky a year or two earlier. Finding it is detective work, and rebuilding takes structured practice across the connected skills, not just more drills on the same topic.”

Practice uses spaced repetition, a research-backed technique for long-term memory, revisiting each skill across days, weeks, and months. Every problem comes with a worked solution that names the key insight and the common mistakes, often tailored to the exact wrong answer a child picked.

There are no leaderboards, no streak shaming, no ads to children, and no AI training on child data. Instead, a parent and child can set a quest the child works toward, with a reward at the end, a bike upgrade or a fun night out, which the company says does wonders for motivation. Level Up Math is COPPA-aligned and GDPR-compliant, collecting only a child’s first name and grade.

Early users put it plainly. A math teacher in Montana reports the assessment results “correctly identify gaps from previous years,” and a Level Up parent in Ohio calls the report “a helpful map for what to practice next.”

Getting started is free: the initial assessment and parent report cost nothing, no credit card. Parents who want to continue pay $14.99 per month per child, with a 33 percent sibling discount and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Level Up Math covers more than 2,000 skills aligned to the Common Core across grades K through 8, plus dozens of interactive tools, from visually rich early-grade scenes to algebra, geometry, and statistics builders for older students.

About Level Up Math

Level Up Math is an adaptive K-8 math practice platform that begins with a free assessment and builds a personalized practice path one mastered skill at a time.
