REMOVED

Software Limit Monitor

Whilst the SLM remains a component of Whisperer 3.13/14, in MFSBE4 SLM API support is now deprecated in favour of our clients using Reflector, or at least using the same notification interface as used by Reflector (WHSPRR-1676):

• TradeLimitDataMessage 
• LockUserMessage
• LockResponseMessage

Sticky Subscriptions

Sticky Subscriptions are no longer supported. in MFSBE4, we no longer make instrument subscriptions on the Client's behalf - the API client is now responsible for managing it's own subscriptions. This means:

• If a venue goes down with active subscriptions then these are implicitly terminated and will need to be re-established when the connection is back up.
• Clients cannot assume that connections have been made on their behalf, should their FH connection be down.

Historic Tick Streamer
