Market Depth

For symbols that support it, quote messages include additional order book depth fields providing up to 5 levels of bid and ask prices.

When market depth data is available, quote messages include additional fields b1 through b5 (bid levels) and a1 through a5 (ask levels):

  • Depth fields are only present when the symbol provides order book data. Not all symbols support market depth.
  • No separate subscription is required. Depth data is included automatically in quote messages when available.
  • The number of available levels may vary by symbol. If only 3 levels are available, fields b4, b5, a4, and a5 will be absent.
