Scheduled Delistings

[jamesfulford]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As an algorithmic trader, I want to avoid holding securities that will be delisted the next trading day, so I can invest elsewhere.

Describe the solution you'd like

The /v3/reference/tickers endpoint only provides "delisted_utc" when "active=false" - only reports after-the-fact that a ticker has delisted. However, often (not always), we know that some tickers are scheduled to be delisted.

If we know a ticker is scheduled to be delisted, I want to know.

For example, ROVRW (a warrant) had news that the warrants would be exercised on 2022-01-12. I would like my code to ignore that opportunity.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I can check every warrant before I trade it - a human-in-the-loop model - though I'd rather not be chained to a desk with the strategies I'm developing.

Additional context

ENVXW was also delisted in January 2022, though without news.

I would also like it available historically (/v3/reference/tickers with day= query parameter), so I can backtest and see if delisting is scheduled for the following day. (if unexpected delisting, please don't edit historical view)

Some expectations:

• best-effort (sometimes you don't see it coming, also might not be reported consistently)
• can be mutable (maybe delisting is rescheduled)

This is certainly something that we plan to offer in the future, however I do not have any kind of timeframe to expect.

We will be sure to follow up with updates as progress is made on this effort.
