Msg. 1 of 9
when I issue a "S,SELECT UPDATE FIELDS,Symbol,Last,Most Recent Trade Time,Most Recent Trade Date,Ask,Bid,Spread,Tick\r\n" command in a WATCH (forex data) request, the Tick field value is returned as an integer. Subsequently, I have the following question:
1. What integer values are expected to be returned for the Tick field?
Thanks in advance

Hi Tim,
thanks for your reply. As per the following description:
Field Name = Tick Field Type = integer Field Description = Direction of change from last Trade Origin of Data = Calculated by IQConnect.exe based upon previous trade
Depending on the I consistently get 3 integer values of:
173, 175, 183
After examining a log file of the output it appears the values have the following meaning:
173 = price was higher than the previous price; 175 = price was lower than the previous price; 183 = price was the same as the previous price;
Is this correct?
Thanks

I do show it, so I am unsure why you are not. Below is what I show when I go to the page that I linked. I do not even have the word Direction when I do a search of the page.
Tick integer "173"=Up, "175"=Down, "183"=No Change. Only valid for Last qualified trades. Calculated by IQConnect.exe based upon previous trade.

Your not logged in, that is why you are seeing that. If you log into the site you will get the data you are looking for.
