Post From: ACSIL market depth / market-by-order data consistency and OrderQuantity semantics.

Documentation clarification request regarding ACSIL market depth and market-by-order functions (not requesting programming help).


1) Within a single call to a study function, do sc.GetBidMarketDepthEntryAtLevel() / sc.GetAskMarketDepthEntryAtLevel() and sc.GetBidMarketLimitOrdersForPrice() / sc.GetAskMarketLimitOrdersForPrice() read from the same internal market depth state? Specifically: can the s_MarketDepthEntry::Quantity and s_MarketDepthEntry::NumOrders values returned for a price reflect a different update instant than the order list returned for that same price during the same study function call? If they are not guaranteed to be consistent, is there a recommended way to obtain a consistent view?

2) Does n_ACSIL::s_MarketOrderData::OrderQuantity represent the displayed quantity of the order as disseminated by the market data feed, excluding any hidden or reserve quantity that is not displayed?

Thank you!
