How do I connect to Thomson Reuters Eikon in MATLAB R2017b?

I am interested in establishing connections to Thomson Reuters Datastream API.

Best Answer

Unfortunately, support to Thomson Reuters Eikon has been removed in R2016a because we no longer support 32-bits Windows, and Thomson Reuters Eikon is only available as a 32-bit application. Please refer to the following release notes for more information on compatibility considerations:

In order to establish connections to Thomson Reuters Datastream API you can use the "datastream" function from the Datafeed Toolbox. Please refer to the following link for more information on using this function:

MATLAB: Am I unable to use Bloomberg datafeed in 64-bit MATLAB in Datafeed Toolbox 3.2 (R2008b)

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 2010a (R2010a). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

The Bloomberg feed in the Datafeed Toolbox is only available in the 32-bit version of MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b) on Windows platforms. This is due to the fact that we support the Bloomberg C API and there are no 64-bit drivers from Bloomberg.

To work around this issue, you can run a 32-bit version of MATLAB on your 64-bit Windows in order to interface with the 32-bit Bloomberg drivers.

As of MATLAB 7.10 (R2010a), the Bloomberg feed is available on 64-bit Windows machines using the new BLP class, which supports the Bloomberg V3 interface. For additional information on updating your code to use this class, refer to the "Datafeed Toolbox" release notes:

MATLAB: How to get a list of all possible strategies that can be attached to an order in the Bloomberg EMSX API

After opening a connection to Bloomberg, you can use the function "getBrokerInfo" to obtain a list of the available strategies for a broker, as follows:

>> c = emsx('//blp/emapisvc_beta');
>> brokerstrat.EMSX_TICKER = 'ABCD US Equity';
>> brokerstrat.EMSX_BROKER = 'BMTB';
>> r = getBrokerInfo( c, brokerstrat )

The lines above return a list of the available strategies for the specified broker.

To obtain more information about a specific strategy, you can use the function "getBrokerInfo" again, as follows:

>> brokerstrat.EMSX_TICKER = 'ABCD US Equity';
>> brokerstrat.EMSX_BROKER = 'BMTB';
>> brokerstrat.EMSX_STRATEGY = 'SSP';
>> r = getBrokerInfo( c, brokerstrat )

You can find more information about the function "getBrokerInfo" at the following documentation page:
