Author	Topic: Zero bid/ask sizes for some live updates in Level1 feed. (5 messages, Page 1 of 1)
aQuant -Interested User- Posts: 49 Joined: Jul 20, 2012	Posted: Oct 17, 2014 02:43 PM Msg. 1 of 5 I found that these happen quite a bit (especially in certain special fast conditions). Note that the third line below ('ba' update) shows 0 ask size at 97.97 price. I was able to match this particular sequence with market depth MD01 updates and there the size shows 14. Is there an explanation for this? (this particular sequence is from August, 6th, 2014 CLU4 contract). Can provide more examples if needed.

aQuant -Interested User- Posts: 49 Joined: Jul 20, 2012	Posted: Oct 17, 2014 03:41 PM Msg. 3 of 5 Hello, I can check in my current data, could you specify starting date from which I shouldn't see it? Also, does it require by any chance using the latest version of IQFeed, currently I am using 5.0.0.14. Finally, has this been-to your knowledge-an issue that has existed for ever/long time or was it just a temporary occurrence (if yes, what date ranges). Thank you.
