Regions and Markets

Imported from previous forum

In my understanding…

If the xml file has specifically included a region then all markets (exchanges) in the region are included unless an individual market in that region is specifically excluded.

If the xml file has specifically excluded a region then all markets (exchanges) in the region are excluded unless an individual market in that region is specifically included.

Is the above correct?

I am not sure how to deal with this scenario…
If the xml file has specifically included a region (say The Americas) then all markets (exchanges) in the region are “normally” included. But what if they had also specified include markets - say NASDAQ but not NYSE. Does the fact that they specified the region override the limited markets or does the limited markets override the regions?

And I guess the same question applies in they had excluded a region and also had specific markets excluded in that region.

A) Region with no Country elements includes all countries for that region
B) Region with one or more Country elements as “include” restricts to just those countries specified
C) Region with one or more Country elements as “exclude” represents all countries except those specified as exclude

Thus to restrict for US and Canada you would have Region of TheAmericas and two Country elements (US and CA) as “include”.

So can you please summarize these examples for me. Thanks.

Example 1





Example 2





Example 3

<Region name"EuropeMiddleEastAfrica" inclusion=“Include” />



Example 4

<Region name"EuropeMiddleEastAfrica" inclusion=“Include” />



Sorry number 4 should have been

Example 4

<Region name"TheAmericas" inclusion=“Exclude” />

Example 4 (amended with content from subsequent post)

is not an element of – like is. So you have to view each separately and then restrict based upon the intersection of the two (same as and ). Given that a is more specific than a , defining with effectively supercedes .

So:
Example 1: Everything in TheAmericas except XNAS
Example 2: XNAS market only (within TheAmericas)
Example 3: XNAS market only within EuropeMiddleEastAfrica which, I believe, yields no matches, thus you’ve filtered yourself out
Example 4: Any Market other than XNAS within any Region other than TheAmericas (since XNAS is only applicable to TheAmericas, is not helping)

In my experience, I have not seen brokers using , only the combination of and (optionally) .
