How to identity order levels from market-by-price request.

rkumar02

We are subscribing to Level 2 Market-by-Price data for the E-mini S&P symbol from CME. Below is a sample of the update message response we are receiving:

Action = Update, key = 3133 3a35 3934 3635 2f32 13:59465/2
Entry data:
Name: ORDER_TONE Value: 1
Name: NO_ORD Value: 11
Name: ACC_SIZE Value: 20
Name: LV_TIM_NS Value: 11:28:29:578
Name: LV_TIM_MS Value: 41309578
Name: LV_DATE Value: 20 / 11 / 2024
Name: ORDER_PRC Value: 5946.5
Name: ORDER_SIDE Value: ASK

Could you clarify if there is a field that represents the price level for order book entry add/update/delete requests? Additionally, I would like more information about the ORDER_TONE field, including its purpose and the possible values it can take.

Thanks in advance.

Hello @rkumar02,

Your example update message will just update an existing order in the book. The level information is not published, and how the application displays these orders and at what level, depends on the sorting algorithm used by the app.

ORDER_TONE is an alphanumeric data type, and can have any value which is dependent on the data source. Different markets can have their own values and can also change/add over time.
