Hi,

I recently heard in a webinar that IQFeed is starting to work to re-aggregate orders using CME tag 346. Also I was shown this web page:

http://www.cmegroup.com/confluence/display/EPICSANDBOX/MDP+3.0+-+Trade+Summary+Order+Level+Detail

Are there fields associated with this effort that I can use now to try to reconstruct large orders?

If not, is this something that you guys are working on? Maybe see something will be in an upcoming beta?

Thanks in advance,
-Bob

Bob, we don't have any plans to provide a bundled/summary feed. Our customers overwhelmingly prefer the fact that we unbundle the information provided in the MDP 3 protocol.

We are however working to bring additional information to our customers that will give them more insight into the makeup of trades. This includes Tag 346 as well as a few others. I don't have timing for when this will be made available, but it is on our roadmap and will be implemented along with other enhancements we are working on for IQFeed.

Right now, a user can determine trades that we unbundled from the exchange by looking at the TickID field as all trades that we unbundled will have the same TickID.

Hi Jay,

I wanted to follow up on this [now somewhat old] post.

You said that "We are however working to bring additional information to our customers that will give them more insight into the makeup of trades."

I am wondering if there has been movement on this since your earleier post, or perhaps things have taken a turn in other directions.

At any rate, any update you could provide would be very helpful and most appreciated.

Thanks!

-Bob

Hi Bob,

We do still have this on our product roadmap but it hasn't managed to bubble to the top due to other higher priority work we have underway. We should have more clarity on a timeline for this in early 2018.

Thanks for your patience!
