Syntax

events = createOrderAndRouteWithStrat(c,order,strat)
events = createOrderAndRouteWithStrat(c,order,strat,'timeOut',timeout)
createOrderAndRouteWithStrat(___,'useDefaultEventHandler',false)
___ = createOrderAndRouteWithStrat(c,order,strat,options)

Description

events = createOrderAndRouteWithStrat(c,order,strat) creates and routes a Bloomberg® EMSX order with strategies using Bloomberg EMSX connection c, order request order, and order strategy strat. createOrderAndRouteWithStrat returns the order sequence number, route number, and status message using the default event handler.

example

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

example

createOrderAndRouteWithStrat(___,'useDefaultEventHandler',false) creates and routes a Bloomberg EMSX order with strategies using any of the input arguments in the previous syntaxes and a custom event handler. Write a custom event handler to process the events associated with creating and routing orders. This syntax does not have an output argument because the custom event handler processes the contents of the event queue. If you want to use the default event handler instead, set the flag 'useDefaultEventHandler' to true and use the events output argument. By default, the flag 'useDefaultEventHandler' is set to true.

example

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

To create and route a Bloomberg EMSX order with strategies, create the connection c using emsx and set up the order and route subscription using orders and routes. For an example showing these activities, see Manage Bloomberg EMSX Order and Route.

Create the order request structure order to define the order parameters. This code creates a buy market order for 100 shares of IBM®. This 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 strategies structure strat using the strategy SSP. Convert the field indicators to a 32-bit signed integer using int32.

strat.EMSX_STRATEGY_NAME = 'SSP';
strat.EMSX_STRATEGY_FIELD_INDICATORS = int32([0 0 0]);
strat.EMSX_STRATEGY_FIELDS = {'09:30:00','14:30:00',50};

Create and route the order with strategies using the Bloomberg EMSX connection c, order, and strat.

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

  • Bloomberg EMSX order number

  • Bloomberg EMSX route identifier

  • Bloomberg EMSX message

Unsubscribe from order and route events using the Bloomberg EMSX subscription list objects osubs and rsubs. This code assumes that orders creates osubs and routes creates rsubs.

c.Session.unsubscribe(osubs)
c.Session.unsubscribe(rsubs)

Suppose you create a custom event handler function called eventhandler with input argument c. Run eventhandler using timer. Start the timer to run eventhandler immediately using start. For details, see Writing and Running Custom Event Handler Functions.

t = timer('TimerFcn',{@c.eventhandler},'Period',1,...
          'ExecutionMode','fixedRate')
start(t)

t is the MATLAB® timer object. For details, see timer.

Create and route the order with strategies using the Bloomberg EMSX connection c, order, and strat. Set the flag 'useDefaultEventHandler' to false so that eventhandler processes the events associated with creating and routing an order.

createOrderAndRouteWithStrat(c,order,strat,...
                             'useDefaultEventHandler',false)

Unsubscribe from order and route events using the Bloomberg EMSX subscription list objects osubs and rsubs. This code assumes that orders creates osubs and routes creates rsubs. Stop the timer to stop data updates using stop.

c.Session.unsubscribe(osubs)
c.Session.unsubscribe(rsubs)
stop(t)

If you are done processing data updates, delete the timer using delete.

Data Types: struct

Order strategies, specified as a structure that contains the fields: EMSX_STRATEGY_NAME, EMSX_STRATEGY_FIELD_INDICATORS, and EMSX_STRATEGY_FIELDS. The structure field values must align with the strategy fields specified by EMSX_STRATEGY_NAME. For details about strategy fields and ordering, see getBrokerInfo.

Convert EMSX_STRATEGY_FIELD_INDICATORS to a 32-bit signed integer using int32. Set EMSX_STRATEGY_FIELD_INDICATORS equal to 0 for each field to use the field data setting in EMSX_FIELD_DATA. Or, set EMSX_STRATEGY_FIELD_INDICATORS equal to 1 to ignore the data in EMSX_FIELD_DATA.

Example: strat.EMSX_STRATEGY_NAME = 'SSP';
strat.EMSX_STRATEGY_FIELD_INDICATORS = int32([0 0 0]);
strat.EMSX_STRATEGY_FIELDS = {'09:30:00','14:30:00',50};

Data Types: double

Options for a custom event handler or timeout value, specified as a structure. To reuse the settings for specifying a custom event handler or timeout value for the event handler, use the options structure.

For example, specify using a custom event handler and a timeout value of 200 milliseconds.

options.useDefaultEventHandler = false;
options.timeOut = 200;
