Formula Reference: IG Index

IG Index provides the ability to either stream a price or request a price on demand. Note that only some instruments can be streamed, this is indicated by the "Stream" column on the search screen.
In the example below, the Bund DFB expiry can be streamed however the Boost Bunds cannot:

Streaming Formulas

Cell values are updated automatically when the value/price changes.

Streaming must be started (using the button on the toolbar) in order for streaming values to be updated:

The "Streaming?" icon indicates if streaming is on or off - a green tick indicates streaming is on whereas a red cross indicates streaming is off:

Pricing Formulas

Before you can stream any pricing data to a cell, you must subscribe to the instrument. To do this find the instrument using the search screen, then press the "Add Selected" button to add the instrument to your subscribed list.

Please note: you must re-start streaming if you change the instruments you are subscribed to.
