Orderbook data

I've been collecting orderbook data ( records 122, 140, 141 ) for F.US.EPH22 ( E-mini futures march 2022 contract ).

I'm investigating a particular millisecond, 1641572372525.


The issue I found is that in one batch of the 140 record, with a timestamp of 1641572372525. It contains over 800 MARKET_DEPTH_DELETE_LEVEL enums ( quantity 0, on the ask side). Thats over 800 different price points that go to 0 on the orderbook.

Obviously that isn't possible and I must be looking at this the wrong way.

In the next batch of orderbook updates, with the same time stamp, the price levels get MARKET_DEPTH_INSERT_UPDATE_LEVEL enum.

My questions are as follows:

Should I be grouping the MARKET_DEPTH_DELETE_LEVEL and MARKET_DEPTH_INSERT_UPDATE_LEVEL by timestamp instead of the the batches that they get grouped by ?

If not by timestamp what is the proper way to group orderbook delete/updates ?

You need to process the market depth update records, in the order in which they exist in the market depth data file.

It sounds like there was a deletion of all the levels and and they were re-added. We are not sure why that is the case. It is going to be dependent on the information from the source data feed.

I process the data as I get it from the DTC server feed when requesting type 102 and receiving 140.

I process it in order received. I find it very odd that there would be a delete on that large of a scale, but if you are saying it legit and it must be how cme sends it.
