Description
The Market Data messages are used as the response to a Market Data Request <V> message. In all cases, one Market Data message refers only to one Market Data Request <V>. It can be used to transmit a 2-sided book of orders or list of quotes, a list of trades, index values, opening, closing,
settlement, high, low, or VWAP prices, the trade volume or open interest for a security, or any combination of these.
Market Data messages sent as the result of a Market Data Request <V> message will specify the appropriate MDReqID <262>. Unsolicited Market Data messages can be sent; in such cases, MDReqID <262> will not be present.
If the message is used for foreign exchange, conventions for identifying the forex transaction are as follows:
- The forex Symbol <55> is defined in Electronic Broking Services, Ltd. (see http://www.ebs.com) format: "CCY1/CCY2".
- Rates are expressed as "currency1 in currency2" (or "currency2 per currency1") and are calculated as CCY2 divided by CCY1
(NOT CCY1 divided by CCY2)
- e.g. "GBP/USD" represents a rate expressed as USD per GBP, "USD/JPY" represents a rate expressed as JPY per USD, etc.).
- CCY1 and CCY2 are ISO currency codes
- The value of the Currency <15> field represents the denomination of the Quantity <53> fields (e.g. JPY represents quantity of JPY).
- See VOLUME 7 - PRODUCT: FOREIGN EXCHANGE
Market Data messages include many fields, and not all are required to be used. A firm may, at its option, choose to send the
minimum fields required, or may choose to send more information, such as tick direction, tagging of best quotes, etc.
Market Data messages can take two forms:
- Full Refresh (Market Data - Snapshot/Full Refresh <W> message)
- Incremental Refresh (see Market Data - Incremental Refresh <X> message)
The first Market Data message format used for a Snapshot, or a Snapshot + Updates
where MDUpdateType <265> = Full Refresh (0) is as follows:
- For Market Data Requests where a Bid or Offer is added, changed, or deleted, every update to a Market Data Entry results in
a new Market Data message that contains the entirety of the data requested for that instrument, not just the changed Market
Data Entry. In other words, both sides of the market, or just one side in the case of a request of only bids or offers, for
the depth requested, must be sent in one FIX Market Data message.
- A Market Data message may contain several trades, imbalances, an index value, opening, closing, settlement, high, low, and/or
VWAP price for one instrument, as well as the traded volume and open interest, but only one instrument per message.
- Messages containing bids and/or offers cannot contain trades, imbalances, index value, opening, closing, settlement, high,
low, and/or VWAP prices, trade volume, or open interest.
