Describing MarketsThe T4 FIX API support streaming of market data with the Market Data Snapshot message.
The Market Data messages are used as the response to a Market Data Request message. In all cases, one Market Data message refers only to one Market Data Request. 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 messages sent as the result of a Market Data Request message will specify the appropriate MDReqID. Unsolicited Market Data messages can be sent; in such cases, MDReqID will not be present.
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, must be sent in one FIX Market Data message. A Market Data message may contain several trades, an index value, opening, closing, settlement, high, low, as well as the traded volume and open interest but only one instrument per message.
