SubscribeLevel2
Category: User Permissions: Operator, Trading, Level2MarketData Call Type: Synchronous
Retrieves the latest Level 2 Ticker information and then subscribes the user to Level 2 market data event updates for one specific instrument. Level 2 allows the user to specify the level of market depth information on either side of the bid and ask. The SubscribeLevel2 call responds with the Level 2 response shown below. The OMS then periodically sends Level2UpdateEvent information in the same format as this response until you send the UnsubscribeLevel2 call.
Only a user with Operator permission can issue a Level2MarketData permission using the call AddUserMarketDataPermission.
Note: Depth in this call is "depth of market," the number of buyers and sellers at greater or lesser prices in the order book for the instrument.
