manualFill

Fill Bloomberg EMSX orders manually

Since R2021a

Syntax

events = manualFill(c,order)

events = manualFill(c,order,'timeOut',timeout)

manualFill(___,'useDefaultEventHandler',false)

___ = manualFill(c,order,options)

Description

events = manualFill(c,order) manually fills a Bloomberg^® EMSX order using the Bloomberg EMSX connection with the Bloomberg EMSX C++ interface and order request. manualFill returns the order sequence number and status message using the default event handler.

events = manualFill(c,order,'timeOut',timeout) specifies a timeout value for the execution of the default event handler.

manualFill(___,'useDefaultEventHandler',false) manually fills a Bloomberg EMSX order using any of the previous input argument combinations and a custom event handler function. Write a custom event handler to process the events associated with manually filling an order. This syntax does not have an output argument because the custom event handler processes the contents of the event queue.

___ = manualFill(c,order,options) uses the options structure to customize the output, which is useful for configuring and saving your options for repeated use. The available options structure fields are timeOut and useDefaultEventHandler. Use the events output argument when the useDefaultEventHandler field is set to true, and omit this output argument when the useDefaultEventHandler field is set to false.

Examples

Manually Fill Bloomberg EMSX Order Using Default Event Handler

Using a Bloomberg EMSX connection, manually fill a Bloomberg EMSX order.

To create a Bloomberg EMSX order, create the connection c using emsx and set up the order subscription using orders. For an example showing these activities, see Create and Manage Bloomberg EMSX Order Using Bloomberg EMSX C++ Interface.

Create the order request structure order to define the order parameters. In this case, the code creates a buy market order for 100 shares of IBM^®. The code uses the broker BB with the time in force set to DAY and any hand instruction. Convert the number of shares to a 32-bit signed integer using int32.

order.EMSX_TICKER = 'IBM';
order.EMSX_AMOUNT = int32(100);
order.EMSX_ORDER_TYPE = 'MKT';
order.EMSX_BROKER = 'BB';
order.EMSX_TIF = 'DAY';
order.EMSX_HAND_INSTRUCTION = 'ANY';
order.EMSX_SIDE = 'BUY';

Create the order using the Bloomberg EMSX connection c and order.

events = createOrder(c,order)

events = 

  struct with fields:
    
    EMSX_SEQUENCE: 354646
    MESSAGE: 'Order created'

The default event handler processes the events associated with creating the order. createOrder returns events as a structure that contains these fields:

• EMSX_SEQUENCE — Bloomberg EMSX order number

• MESSAGE — Bloomberg EMSX message

Manually fill the Bloomberg order. Specify the manualorder structure with the order number in the events structure.

manualorder.EMSX_SEQUENCE = int32(events.EMSX_SEQUENCE);
events = manualFill(c,manualorder)

events =

  struct with fields:

    EMSX_SEQUENCE: 354646
    MESSAGE: 'Order Filled'

The default event handler processes the events associated with manually filling the order. events is a structure that contains these fields:

• EMSX_SEQUENCE — Bloomberg EMSX order number

• MESSAGE — Bloomberg EMSX message

Close the Bloomberg EMSX connection.

Manually Fill Bloomberg EMSX Order Using Timeout Value

Using a Bloomberg EMSX connection, manually fill a Bloomberg EMSX order. Specify a timeout value.

To create a Bloomberg EMSX order, create the connection c using emsx and set up the order subscription using orders. For an example showing these activities, see Create and Manage Bloomberg EMSX Order Using Bloomberg EMSX C++ Interface.

Create the order request structure order to define the order parameters. In this case, the code creates a buy market order for 100 shares of IBM. The code uses the broker BB with the time in force set to DAY and any hand instruction. Convert the number of shares to a 32-bit signed integer using int32.

order.EMSX_TICKER = 'IBM';
order.EMSX_AMOUNT = int32(100);
order.EMSX_ORDER_TYPE = 'MKT';
order.EMSX_BROKER = 'BB';
order.EMSX_TIF = 'DAY';
order.EMSX_HAND_INSTRUCTION = 'ANY';
order.EMSX_SIDE = 'BUY';

Create the order using the Bloomberg EMSX connection c and order.

events = createOrder(c,order)

events = 

  struct with fields:
    
    EMSX_SEQUENCE: 354646
    MESSAGE: 'Order created'

The default event handler processes the events associated with creating the order. createOrder returns events as a structure that contains these fields:

• EMSX_SEQUENCE — Bloomberg EMSX order number

• MESSAGE — Bloomberg EMSX message

Manually fill the Bloomberg order. Specify the manualorder structure with the order number in the events structure. Specify the timeout value of 200 milliseconds by using the 'timeOut' flag.

manualorder.EMSX_SEQUENCE = int32(events.EMSX_SEQUENCE);
events = manualFill(c,manualorder,'timeOut',200)

events =

  struct with fields:

    EMSX_SEQUENCE: 354646
    MESSAGE: 'Order Filled'

events is a structure that contains these fields:

• EMSX_SEQUENCE — Bloomberg EMSX order number

• MESSAGE — Bloomberg EMSX message

Close the Bloomberg EMSX connection.

Manually Fill Bloomberg EMSX Order Using Custom Event Handler Function

Using a Bloomberg EMSX connection, manually fill a Bloomberg EMSX order. Specify using a custom event handler function to process the events.

To create a Bloomberg EMSX order, create the connection c using emsx and set up the order subscription using orders. For an example showing these activities, see Create and Manage Bloomberg EMSX Order Using Bloomberg EMSX C++ Interface.

Create the order request structure order to define the order parameters. In this case, the code creates a buy market order for 100 shares of IBM. The code uses the broker BB with the time in force set to DAY and any hand instruction. Convert the number of shares to a 32-bit signed integer using int32.

order.EMSX_TIF = 'DAY';
order.EMSX_HAND_INSTRUCTION = 'ANY';
order.EMSX_SIDE = 'BUY';

Create the order using the Bloomberg EMSX connection c and order.

events = createOrder(c,order)

events = 

  struct with fields:
    
    EMSX_SEQUENCE: 354646
    MESSAGE: 'Order created'

The default event handler processes the events associated with creating the order. createOrder returns events as a structure that contains these fields:

• EMSX_SEQUENCE — Bloomberg EMSX order number

• MESSAGE — Bloomberg EMSX message

Manually fill the Bloomberg order. Specify the manualorder structure with the order number in the events structure. Use a custom event handler function to process the events. You can use the sample event handler function processEvent or write your own custom event handler function. For this example, use processEvent to process the events.

manualorder.EMSX_SEQUENCE = int32(events.EMSX_SEQUENCE);
manualFill(c,manualorder,'useDefaultEventHandler',false)
processEvent(c)

ManualFill = {

    EMSX_SEQUENCE = 354646
