LME Indications & Ticker, the CME Ticker and the OTC Ticker - MyDesk

LME Indications & Ticker, the CME Ticker and the OTC Ticker - MyDesk 

 

These 3 widgets show trade by trade or quote by quote from the LME and CME or was quoted for OTC markets. They are all found in the Content Finder under Data Tools and Calculators

All three Ticker widgets give direct access to a “raw” data feed and also provide a look back at a granular “tick” level for a rolling five days, including today.

Note that on all Tickers, changing the filters during a live “session” will not actually change the tick feed. Instead, the feed needs to be stopped, before changing filters and then restarting.

LME and Indications Ticker

The LME Ticker works on the non ferrous LME suite of data and is not available for the cash settled contracts.

Select the metal you want to view, the venue (eg broker, floor or Select) and then select instrument type (eg Trades or Carries). You then have the option to select a radio button for today, yesterday or the previous three working days. You can then enter a time selection for the data retrieval window, the default is a 30 minute back from now. Lastly you should select the number of rows of data to retrieve.

 

Once the filters are set up, clicking on “Get Data” retrieves the history and starts the live tick updates if appropriate. The “Stop” button freezes the display of a live ticker feed to enable inspection or for a screenshot. It toggles with a “Start” button to relaunch a live feed.

The fields shown in the Ticker are fixed and include the following. Timestamp, Contract (Instrument), Bid Contributor, Bid Size, Bid, Ask, Ask Size, Ask Contributor, Last (price) and Last Size.
