Does RFA API report Block Trades for illiquid exchanges

Does anyone know if there is no activity on the exchange for a particular RIC and only a Block Trade is reported on it will the RFA API feed it down to us, it does not seem to be the case ?

Hi @osman.anwar

Eikon integrates multiple data sources / products into the single desktop application - where as RFA is for consuming / publishing streaming realtime data.
So, the most logical explanation is that the Block Trade data is not part of Elektron realtime - which the Content will be able to advise on further.

Hi @osman.anwar

RFA will pass on any events that it receives from the server, which in turn will pass on any events it receives from the upstream source e.g. ELEKTRON Realtime - which in turn is fed by exchange activity.

Therefore, you will need to ask your question of the Elektron realtime Content helpdesk by raising a Content related ticket from MyRefinitiv.

Thanks Umar - I have raised it with Content team. I can see the Block Trade in Eikon, could it still be the case that it hasn't fed down via RFA (despite showing in Eikon) or more likely some other issue ?
