FX Functionality in getTicks
fxBookType
FX specific functionality is specified via the fxBookType argument.
Further releases will provide functionality to construct an FX price book in various ways.
The fxBookType option rawBook constructs a book without any mathematical operation on the FX market data on a per tick basis.
The numLevels option is an integer input to construct a book for those levels where the data is available. In the below example we set numLevels value to be 3 but the Liquidity Provider was only providing pricing for level 0 at this time.
In addition, filtering functionality available as part of getTicks can be used in conjunction with the FX asset specific functionality. This is demonstrated in the example below with the columns parameter to select only the columns of interest.
The scope argument is required to allow the correct routing. The value provided in the examples below is correct for the KX Flow Accelerator.

The fxBookType option VWAP constructs a volume-weighted average price from the quote data. The vwap calculations are done by liquidity provider (src). The band(s) are input via the vwapSize parameter

Similarly, for periods where one sided rates are streaming from the liquidity provider, the vwap will be calculated on the liquidity of the available side while the other side's price and size columns will remain null. For example,
args: (!) . flip (
(`table; `Quote);
(`scope; (enlist`assembly)!(enlist `$"fsi-app-kx-flow"));
(`startTS; 2023.08.22D08:20:00);

The book building logic also works with the other features of getTicks, for example the column filter. In the below example, only the specified columns are returned

To select particular LPs to perform a VWAP on, the filter functionality can be used to select one or many LPs.

The disableRounding optional boolean parameter can be used as part of the VWAP book building functionality within getTicks. By default when constructing a VWAP book, rounding will be applied to the output of the VWAP calculations based on the reference data that is held for the currency pair. If there is no reference data defined for a particular pair, the un-rounded values are returned, or alternatively, should an un-rounded value be preferable, the disableRounding parameter can be explicitly set to true.
In the first example the disableRounding option is set to true, so un-rounded values are returned
args: (!) . flip (
(`table; `Quote);
(`scope; (enlist`assembly)!(enlist `$"fsi-app-kx-flow"));
(`startTS; .z.d+00:00:00);
