Empty trade event

We receive a lot of empty RSSL_MC_UPDATE/RDM_UPD_EVENT_TYPE_TRADE events that have no volume and no price. They usually follow a normal standard trade event and may have the same sequence number. Any idea why that could be?

E.g.:

    Hi @Ypar

    Please see this post on a similar question / topic

    In that instance the content expert advised as follows:

    This is quite common actually. We often get a pulsed summary update from venues (and/or our value-add system if the venue doesn’t send) as it often gets generated after the trade has occurred. In this case it seems we get a separate update from Deutsche Boerse after the index value is sent out.

    So, although the above talks about Deutsche Boerse, this behaviour is not related to just that exchange.

    As this is a Content query and not a API issue, I recommend you contact our Data Helpdesk if you require further explanation on your observations.

    Hi @Ypar

    Just checked the data from Tick History and can confirm that the feed did indeed send two trade update with the same SEQNUM.

    I have submitted a ticket to Data Helpdesk on your behalf.

    FYI, the answer I got about the duplicated sequence number:

    The sequence number will change only when there will be different trading activity
