I was able to download the API docs last week and I was able to replicate Interactive Brokers historical bar queries and realtime bar queries over the weekend.

Hello,

What kind of Update message should we receive in Level 1 data feed in case, if, for example, there are no active bid orders on the market anymore after the latest trade, and the bid side of the book should be cleared?

I guess, there should be a special case for this situation? What will be the values of "Message Contents" field and bid related fields ("Bid" and "Bid Size")?

Could you please clarify?

Thank you.

When the exchange tells us to clear books (or any other field), this should appear in IQFeed Level 1 as a message with an empty field for the affected fields. The Message Contents field should also indicate b or a as appropriate, depending on whether bid, ask, or both was cleared.
Sincerely,
Gary Stephen

Got it. Sounds logical. Thank you for the confirmation.

When the book is cleared, are the bid/ask fields blank or zeros?
