Tag # Field Name Req’d Data type Comments
10 Checksum Y String

Unencrypted three-character checksum

This tag must always be the last field in a message (i.e. it serves, with the trailing <SOH>, as the end-of-message delimiter).

Message Notes

The Market Data Incremental Refresh (X) message is used to send updates whenever the market data changes for an instrument to which a FIX client subscribes for incremental updates.

Calculating entry positions

Market Data Incremental Refresh (X) messages can contain multiple New, Delete and Change actions for the same contract and MDEntryType. The FIX client must take into account that Tag 290 (MDEntryPositionNo) in an update always indicates the position of the entry before processing the current message.

The following shows an example of an algorithm you can use to process market depth updates:

  • Create a ladder data structure that is sorted by price.

  • Create a before instance and an after instance.

  • Populate both instances with the Market Data Snapshot (W) message.

  • When a Market Data Incremental Refresh (X) is received and:

    • Tag 279 (MDUpdateAction) is 0 (New), insert it directly into the after instance.
    • Tag 279 (MDUpdateAction) is 1 (Change), apply the quantity change to the before instance.
    • Tag 279 (MDUpdateAction) is 2 (Delete), mark it for deletion in the before instance but do not actually delete it.

  • After the entire Market Data Incremental Refresh (X) is processed in this manner, insert all records not marked for deletion in the before instance into the after instance.

  • Delete the contents of the before instance.

  • Copy the contents of after instance to the before instance.

  • Display the after instance to the user.
