NxCoreStateExgQuote

One of a number of regional exchange quotes in NxCoreStateExgQuotes.StateExgQuotes

The structure NxCoreStateExgQuote is defined in NxCoreAPI.h as:

struct NxCoreStateExgQuote {
    int            AskPrice;
    int            BidPrice;
    int            AskSize;
    int            BidSize;
    unsigned short ReportingExg;
    unsigned char  QuoteCondition;
    unsigned char  alignment[1];
};

AskPrice

Represents the value of the current ask from the exchange identified as ReportingExg.

Use PriceType to convert to double: nxCoreClass.PriceToDouble(AskPrice, PriceType)

BidPrice

Represents the value of the current bid from the exchange identified as ReportingExg.

Use PriceType to convert to double: nxCoreClass.PriceToDouble(BidPrice, PriceType)

AskSize

Represents the size of the current Ask from the exchange ReportingExg. For most equities, the AskSize represents the number of round lots (a round lot is 100 shares in this case). For options contracts, the AskSize represents the number of option contracts. The size fields are set to the values as sent by the exchanges.

BidSize

Represents the size of the current Bid from the exchange ReportingExg. For most equities, the BidSize represents the number of round lots (a round lot is 100 shares in this case). For options contracts, the BidSize represents the number of option contracts. The size fields are set to the values as sent by the exchanges.

ReportingExg

The reporting exchange for this quote. Can be compared against BestAskExg or BestBidExg to determine NBBO
