Describing MarketsThe T4 FIX API support streaming of market data with the Market Data Snapshot message.
The Market Data Snapshot messages are used as the response to a
Market Data Request message. It can be used to transmit a list of quotes, a list of trades, index values, opening, closing, settlement, high, low, the trade volume or open interest for a security, or any combination of these. Market Data Snapshot messages sent as the result of a
Market Data Request message will specify the appropriate MDReqID (Tag 262). Unsolicited Market Data messages can also be sent.
Market Data messages can take two forms. The first Market Data message format used for a Snapshot, or a Snapshot + Updates where MDUpdateType = 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, is sent in one FIX Market Data message.
