- Timestamp (U.S. Eastern):
- Current: Date and time -> yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.000 (ex: "2020-01-01 21:11:50.627") Records are in chronological order.
- Legacy: Time only -> hh:mm:ss.000 (ex: "21:11:50.627") Records are are *not* in chronological order, but instead sorted by raw timestamp which spans 2 calendar days. Records with 00:00 to < 17:00 time stamps take place implicitly on the date in the file name. Records 17:00 to < 24:00 are from the prior calendar date.
- Aggressor Side: Side that removed liquidity: B = Buyer, S = Seller.
- Price: Exchange rate expressed in units of Counter Currency. Ex: Pair = USDJPY, Price = 143.25 -> Transacted at 143.25 JPY per 1 USD
- Qty: Units of Base Currency. Ex: Pair = USDJPY, Qty = 1,000,000 -> 1,000,000 USD transacted for JPY at Price
