Best practices

Get high quality fast results from the connector.

Date ranges

  • Use single-day or weekly date ranges for the fastest query performance. Queries spanning more than one month may time out.
  • If no date range is specified, the system defaults to the last 7 calendar days.
  • Data coverage begins September 2025. Earlier dates will return sparse or no results.

Identifying bonds

  • Reference bonds by issuer name for convenient lookups. Claude automatically resolves issuers to the correct identifiers behind the scenes.
  • You can also search by asset category, sector, maturity range, or other bond characteristics to find the securities you need.

Narrowing results

  • Specify an asset category (corporate, municipal, agency, securitized) to focus your query and improve performance.
  • Use the sector filter (Financial, Industrial, Utility) to narrow corporate bond queries.
  • Use aggregation (group by sector, issuer, date, or hour) for volume analysis instead of requesting thousands of individual records.

Getting the most from Claude

  • Be specific about what you want: "top 10 trades by size today" is better than "show me some trades."
  • Ask follow-up questions — Claude maintains context about your previous queries.
  • Use the knowledge layer for definitions: ask "What is an institutional trade?" rather than assuming thresholds.

Data privacy

  • The connector accesses only the data you explicitly request through your queries.
  • No conversation data is stored beyond the duration of your session.
  • All data transmission is encrypted via TLS.
  • Trade data served through this connector is publicly disseminated market data from FINRA TRACE and MSRB RTRS.
