Hi cokeplus898,

This is a subscription to spot prices. Bid and Ask prices will be streamed to you as soon as they change. What did you expect to get instead?

Hi Panagiotis,

I expect to get the real time bid and ask price. Like in Ctrader, for example EURUSD,bid 1.1291 ask 1.1291. 

But I only got 1.1291 via API. I don't know this is the bid or ask price, also I want to get bid and ask at the same time.

Thanks.

Hi cokeplus898,

You will only get the price that has changed. Tag 269 indicates if this is a BID or OFFER price.

Hi Panagiotis,

For example, EURUSD 1.2191/1.2191, ask price change to 1.21911, and I only get 1.21911 ?  Can I get 1.21910/1.21911 at the same time when price changed?

Thanks.

Best regards,

"269=0|270=1.12936|269=1|270=1.12936"

Wondering the reply gives bid=ask most of the time.

Is there something wrong?

Hi cokeplus898,

This is how FIX works. It streams only changes in price. It can also happen that bid = ask especially in low spread symbols like EURUSD.

Hi Panagiotis,

Yes, even EURUSD is low spread, but it won't be always 0 spread. We just always receive bid=ask, spread 0. How could it be?

Hi cokeplus898,

Did you cross check the prices received with what you see in cTrader UI? Can you see differences? e.g.

If yes, can you provide more information e.g. a video showing the differences? Also let us know your broker.

Hi Panagiotis,

Just cross check the price with Ctrader UI, It is the same. I can config the others now.

Thank you for your support!
