EMA stream returns only delta values but without timestamp

vuk.magdelinic

{
    "Ask": "N/A",
    "Contributor": "N/A",
    "Mid": "0.519",
    "Value_TS1": "N/A",
    "Bid": "N/A",
    "RIC": "EURAB6E28Y=",
    "Tenor": null
}

Here we only have a value for Mid, but no changes to Bid and Ask are reported. Plus, Value_TS1 is blank which doesn't tell us whether the data is in order or out of order since there are multiple threads involved in Refinitiv stream

Hi @vuk.magdelinic,

Can you provide the specific version and EMA language you are using? Also, can you confirm that the item you are requesting is "EURAB6E28Y="

The expected behavior of EMA, when you receive an update, is that it normally provides either a quote or trade update. However, I've observed with the above RIC there were no timestamps received, for example:

{
    "DURATION": -25.35,
    "MID_PRICE": 0.584,
    "GEN_VAL1": null,
    "GEN_VAL2": null,
    "GEN_VAL4": 0.584,
    "GEN_VAL5": 16.8,
    "GEN_VAL6": -1.0,
    "GEN_VAL7": 5.9,
    "GEN_VAL8": 7.8,
    "GEN_VAL9": 7.0,
    "GEN_VAL10": 55.9,
    "MID_1": 0.584,
    "PV01": 2521.9832
  }

However, I do see this:

{
    "BID": 0.564,
    "PRIMACT_1": 0.564,
    "ASK": 0.604,
    "SEC_ACT_1": 0.604,
    "NETCHNG_1": -0.013,
    "PCTCHNG": -2.25,
    "ACT_TP_1": " B",
    "VALUE_DT1": "2021-05-19",
    "VALUE_TS1": "17:02:23",
    "SC_ACT_TP1": " A"
  }

For cases where no timestamp was included (as I observed in my example), there may be a good reason. I would suggest you reach out to the Refinitiv Helpdesk - they can likely explain the rationale why no timestamps are included in some updates within the specific data service.

thanks.
