Webull Canada has added free real-time Canadian stock quotes to its trading platform, giving users access to current market prices without an extra market-data subscription.

The brokerage announced the addition of Nasdaq Basic Canada on November 10 and says it is now available to all Webull users. It covers shares listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, TSX Venture Exchange, Canadian Securities Exchange and Cboe Canada.

The update comes as investing apps add more ways for Canadians to follow markets. Earlier this year, Wealthsimple linked stock trading with X, while Google Finance brought its AI research tools to Canada.

Webull’s addition is focused on the prices investors see while using the platform. The data feeds into charts, watchlists, stock screeners and order entry, so users can follow market activity within the same service they use to trade.

Nasdaq Basic Canada provides Level 1 data, which means a top-level view of trading: bid and ask quotes, recent sale prices and volume. The bid is what a buyer is offering to pay, while the ask is what a seller is asking for.

For someone checking a stock or preparing an order, those figures help show where trading is happening. They do not provide the full order book, which shows outstanding buy and sell orders and the number of shares at different price levels. That deeper view is a separate type of market data.

The feed brings together Nasdaq Canada’s CXC, CX2 and CXD trading venues. Despite the Nasdaq name, this announcement concerns Canadian-listed equities, rather than just stocks listed on the U.S. Nasdaq exchange.

“Real-time market data is an important part of the investing experience, but access has traditionally come with an additional cost,” said Webull Canada CEO Michael Constantino.

The free Canadian Level 1 feed is also separate from Webull’s promotional offers for U.S. Nasdaq Level 2 quotes, which have their own eligibility and time limits.

The TSX, TSX Venture Exchange, CSE and Cboe Canada are open for trading on Remembrance Day, November 11, although it is a banking and settlement holiday.
