Market Data
Send a MarketSubscribe message in order to subscribe for market data. You may have multiple active market subscriptions (up to the subscription limit set for your user.)
Finding market ids
Subscriptions are keyed by exchange_id, contract_id and market_id (all strings). Retrieve them from the REST Instruments API (Swagger: https://api-sim.t4login.com/markets/swagger/index.html). A MarketDetails message with the full instrument definition is also delivered on subscribe.
Subscribe
market_subscribe {
exchange_id: "CME"
contract_id: "..."
market_id: "..."
quotes: QUOTES_FULL_ORDER_BOOK // detail level (see below)
ticker: true // also stream trade prints
}
quotes (Quotes enum) selects the feed:
| Value | You receive |
|---|---|
QUOTES_NONE | Nothing — unsubscribes the market. |
QUOTES_TOP_OF_BOOK | Best bid / best offer only, as MarketDepth. |
QUOTES_FULL_ORDER_BOOK | Full depth ladder (volume aggregated per price), as MarketDepth. |
QUOTES_MARKET_BY_ORDER | Every individual resting order, as MarketByOrder*. |
ticker — when true, trade prints stream as MarketTrade messages.
Unsubscribe — resend MarketSubscribe for the same market with quotes: QUOTES_NONE.
