This message type provides a description of each market maker and the size of their quote at the top 10

Intraday Time Bar Messages
All Intraday Time Bar Messages are constructed on the fly from either Trade or Quote messages.
Transactions are summarised into discrete time-series intervals anywhere from 1 second to 1 hour in
duration.
The initial trade in the interval is mapped to the Open field while the last trade is mapped to the Close
field. The highest price is mapped to the High field while the lowest field is mapped to the Low field.
Volume is the cumulation of all traded volume over the interval.
Average price is the sum of all the trade prices divided by the number of all the trades, while the VWAP
is the volume weighted average price over the interval.
VWAP is calculated using the following formula:
∑ Pj x Qj
VWAP = _____
∑ Qj
Pj = price of trade j
Qj = quantity of trade j
j = each individual trade that takes place over the defined interval, including all on-market and off-
market trades.
The time field represents the start of the Time Bar interval, e.g. for the 10 minute interval, 10:00:00.000
represents all trades over the range 10:00:00.000 to 10:09:59.999.
If there are no trades within a Time Bar, that Time Bar is not displayed, e.g. assume the last trade for
the day is at 16:01:04.453, then assuming a 5 Minute time bar, the last interval in the time-series for that
day is 16:00:00.000
The Fields that are highlighted in bold and black represent the default fields for Intra-Day. The field that
are greyed -out represent fields that are not defaults, but are available for only a subset of exchanges or

Notes Accessing delisted instruments - it is possible to reference delisted instruments by their delisted RIC. Delisted RIC syntax consist of a ^after the original RIC followed by a month code and a year code that signifies when the RIC was actually delisted.
Example: RIC ABC.L is delisted in January 2002. The delisted RIC is ABC.L^A02 (A=January,
B=February, etc and 02 signifies 2002). RICs that were delisted prior to 1995 do not have a Delisted RIC
and historical data is not available for those instruments.
Rules are applied to RICs to allow delisted RICs to be referenced without having to know the expiry
month and year:
If the RIC does not exist, but a single matched delisted RIC does exists, the delisted RIC can be matched by the original RIC, e.g. ONE.AX will return data for ONE.AX^H01.
If a single delisted RIC exists, it can be referenced by appending a ^ to the RIC, e.g. ONE.AX^ will match the delisted RIC ONE.AX^H01.
Where multiple delisted RICs exist for a RIC, each delisted RIC must be explicitly referenced, e.g.
C.PH^B09 or C.PH^K98.
Delisted RICs no not have a IDN real-time equivalent, it is therefore important to select the "Never"
Verify RICs option in Preferences prior to adding the instrument to the instrument list.

Notes Accessing delisted instruments - it is possible to reference delisted instruments by their delisted RIC. Delisted RIC syntax consist of a ^after the original RIC followed by a month code and a year code that signifies when the RIC was actually delisted. Example: RIC ABC.L is delisted in January 2002. The delisted RIC is ABC.L^A02 (A=January, B=February, etc and 02 signifies 2002). RICs that were delisted prior to 1995 do not have a Delisted RIC and historical data is not available for those instruments. Rules are applied to RICs to allow delisted RICs to be referenced without having to know the expiry month and year: If the RIC does not exist, but a single matched delisted RIC does exists, the delisted RIC can be matched by the original RIC, e.g. ONE.AX will return data for ONE.AX^H01. If a single delisted RIC exists, it can be referenced by appending a ^ to the RIC, e.g. ONE.AX^ will match the delisted RIC ONE.AX^H01. Where multiple delisted RICs exist for a RIC, each delisted RIC must be explicitly referenced, e.g. C.PH^B09 or C.PH^K98. Delisted RICs no not have a IDN real-time equivalent, it is therefore important to select the "Never" Verify RICs option in Preferences prior to adding the instrument to the instrument list. The futures RIC root is derived from the portion of the futures RIC syntax that remains identical regardless of expiry, number of continuation series etc. For example the December 2008 Reuters futures RIC on LIFFE is RTRlfZ8 with Z representing December and 8 representing the year 2008. If these changeable characters are removed, the root becomes "RTRlf". Some single stock futures have a RIC syntax of MSFT1Z8:OX with an exchange suffix. In these cases the futures RIC root will either have the syntax MSFT:OX or MSFTox, but all RICs on the same series will have the same RIC root as usual.
