Author	Topic: "Open Interest" field missing from 5.2 docs (7 messages, Page 1 of 1)
dk_brad -Interested User- Posts: 12 Joined: May 11, 2014	Posted: Mar 21, 2016 11:54 AM Msg. 1 of 7 Hi, I noticed "Open Interest" is missing from the 5.2 update/summary message docs at: http://www.iqfeed.net/dev/api/docs/Level1UpdateSummaryMessage.cfm but I didn't see it mentioned in the upgrade guide. Is this field part of the 5.2 protocol?

I have added it back into the documentation. Thanks for posting and letting me know. Tim

Is the documentation wrong? Or could these potentially not contain price/mkt index codes?
