Warning
titleThrottle price updates
In order to ensure that the Bloomberg server-side infrastructure and UI are not overloaded by high-frequency price updates, it is essential that the Maker throttle price updates across all ESP pairs to approx. 3Hz.


Note
NOTE: CCy pairs and price classes are always managed by Bloomberg, Liaison with their support is required to change these. As well as the admin changes, they will need to do an overnight "Deal code reset" (i.e. batch script to get admin changes into their adaptors).


Note
NOTE: For each defined currency pair, a maximum of one price class can be assigned for automatic SOD subscription. For all the other price classes, subscriptions for that currency pair are managed on a lazy-loading on-demand basis.

Price Precision

Note that for certain currency pairs, Bloomberg is not able to support decimalised pricing - for example, USD/MXN, USD/ZAR. Alternatively it may be that the Maker maintains a Price Class for whole-pip pricing.

Warning
titleROUNDING
In either case, should the Maker deliver a decimalised price for such pairs, Bloomberg will round 1/2-DOWN on both sides (Bid *and* Offer) – leading to problems.

Production Support

FXAT - Audit Trail

It is recommended that Maker Support teams utilise the FXAT function within Bloomberg, which provides a highly detailed audit trail of all trading activity.
