OB Ultra spec defines 4 delta update reason codes as follows:
‘O’ - New order/additional interest added
‘C’ - Cancel
‘E’- Execution
‘X’ - Multiple events

Cancel/Execution would be quite useful to extract trades from the book. However 'Multiple events' makes this impossible (for obvious reasons.)
Would it be possible to make sure that decreases in total qty on the price level are separated from additions/cancels? That would really increase value of the data which is coming over.

Yes, we are trying make sure we do get as much information as possible on the feed and we anticipate that the 'x' condition will be infrequent. At the moment, if there is an execution and new interest added at a price point at the same time, you will see an "x' condition with the linkID field populated to know that an execution did in fact take place.

Is there any plan to include the market orders in the feed?

Every once in a while (about 10-20 times per hour) we get a ReasonCode == '\0' (a null character) instead of the 4 reason codes stated in the specs (O, C, E or X). Everything else in these packets is correct. The null reason code can happen on any of the price points (not only on the last one). ie. the first price point can have a null reason code and the very next price point has a valid one.

Please advise on how should we handle this case.

No, there is no plan to include the market orders in the feed. OpenBook is a limit order book only.

Is the issue with '\0' reason code fixed in the current feed or is that going to go live the 30th?

As of the 2/7/2008 We are still seeing null characters in the reson code.

When is this going to be fixed in live ?.

can someone elaborate on what the link IDs are? my understanding is that whenever there is a trade (when the reason code is either X or E), there will be a link ID. but how to I use it to find out the trade size in case of X. how do I find out what multiple events are there?

for example, I have this sequence of messages for a stock at price 76.57, how am I going to figure out what trades and/or new order and/or cancel orders have happened?

reason code volume ChgQty NumOrders LinkID1 LinkID2
O 200 200 1
X 200 0 2 6593
X 200 0 1 6594 6595
X 200 0 2 6596
