Market Data Subscription

Hi All,

Two questions if I may please:

1 - On the FIX PAI doc (v. 2.16) it states that only Incremental refresh MDUpdateType is supported. However, when I did that successfully, the Market Data started coming back as MarketDataSnapshotFullRefresh.    Isn't it supposed to stream back as MarketDataIncrementalRefresh  intead?

 

2 - Subsequent to the above, every MarketDataSnapshotFullRefresh  message is lacking the sizes for the BID/OFFERs. Tag 271 (MDEntrySize) is always missing.

 

Any help on the above is greatly appreciated.

Zo

Hi zo.abed,

1) What this means is that the specific optional tag allows only for specifying incremental refresh. If the tag is not used then you should get a full refresh.

2) Message 35=W does not have a 271 tag. This is only available in 35=X.

Best Regards,

Thanks Panagiotis,

 

The trouble is that I am subscribing using Incremental Refresh request as MDUpdateType. I.e. I'm specifying the TAG in question. But, the stream coming back from you is FULL refresh regardless.

I can send you log excerpts showing the subscription message itself and the reply from you being a FULL-REFRESH rather than an INCREMENTAL

Hi zo.abed,

Even if you subscribe to incremental refresh, the first message will be a full refresh, else there is nothing to increment on.
