EMA - Query

aastha.sharma

Hi,

I am new here, trying to implement EMA to get market pricing data for a list of securities. This list will be updated daily. We will be using Solace topics to subscribe. Can we subscribe to a dynamic list of securities and not currency, if yes, how? Also, can we refresh this list dynamically or will we need to restart the process every morning with a new itemlist?

Hi @aastha.sharma

EMA uses RICs for the symbology when consuming Refinitiv Real-Time data.

From your post, can I assume you are consuming data from a Solace feed - via a Refinitiv RTDS system?

Whilst all of our EMA examples specify the required RIC/RICs at startup - you are free to subscribe to instruments (available on your feed) - as and when required.

You can also close all or individual instruments as and when required.

You can subscribe to an instrument by calling registerClient for one or more instruments

• using a Batch request for multiple instruments with a single registerClient call
• or calling registerClient individually for each instrument

For each valid instrument you subscribe to, a stream is created and each stream is assigned a unique handle.

You will need to store the handle for each item:

UInt64 handle = consumer.registerClient( ReqMsg().serviceName( "MY_FEED" ).name( "IBM.N" ), client ) 

and then use the handle to unsubscribe each item you no longer require it. e.g.

_pOmmConsumer->unregister(handle) 

for Batch requests, the handle would have to be extracted from the on onRefreshMsg() callback for each subscribed instrument, as the handle returned for a batch request will be closed as soon as the batch request is accepted.

EMA Consumer Example 300 demonstrates close for a subscribed item.

Thanks! Also, we want to stream the market price for a list of nasdaq securities (US and Canada) throughout the day, was wondering where can I find a list of RIC's to subscribe to?

Hi @aastha.sharma

You can either

• use RIC Search | Refinitiv Developers to help yourself find the RICs and/or
• raise a Content Ticket and attach a detailed description of your requirements and the content team can help put together a list for you and/or
• use the Speed Guide tool for exploring our real-time content.
