RFA Field for ExchangeTime

tradingTech

Hello -

I'm currently subscribing to bid prices for a small handful of US bonds via the RFA API. What field can I request to receive exchange timestamps? I've tried "EXCHANGE TIME" 1067 and "QUOTIM MS" (3855). I haven't received values for either field. Any alternatives?

I suggest you check with content support so they can confirm that the RICs you are using support the fields or not. The data feed might use another field to represent the times.
