Filter only Trades from JSON Message with WebSocket API?

is the "UpdateType" Key a reliable source to filter only the Trade of a certain Instrument?
Like this example:

    Hello @Michael_Dirian ,

    I see from the question that you are thinking in the same direction:

    • If the service that is being consumed is Tick-By-Tick, not conflated, UpdateType is reliable and can be used for the purpose.
    • If the service is conflated and trade-safe, i.e. trades are not conflated, it can be used as well.
    • If the service is conflated and conflation is not trade-safe, then some Trades may be part of the conflated messages and within, not be discernable as such, so it can not be used.

    Hope that this information helps
