LightStreamer API Subscription Example

    var ctx = context.Background()
	for {
		tickChan := make(chan igmarkets.LightStreamerTick)
    err := igHandle.OpenLightStreamerSubscription(ctx, []string{"CS.D.BITCOIN.CFD.IP"}, tickChan)
		if err != nil {
      log.WithError(err).Error("OpenLightStreamerSubscription() failed")
		}

		for tick := range tickChan {
			log.Infof("tick: %+v", tick)
		}

		log.Infof("Server closed stream, restarting...")
  }

Output:
