// Create the InterReact client by connecting to TWS/Gateway on the local host.
IInterReactClient client = await InterReactClient.ConnectAsync();
// Create a contract object.
Contract contract = new()
{
   SecurityType = ContractSecurityType.Stock,
   Symbol       = "AMZN",
   Currency     = "USD",
   Exchange     = "SMART"
};
// Create and then subscribe to the observable which can observe ticks for the contract.
IDisposable subscription = client
    .Service
    .CreateMarketDataObservable(contract)
    .OfTickClass(selector => selector.PriceTick)
    .Where(tick => tick.TickType == TickType.LastPrice)
    .Subscribe(onNext: priceTick => Console.WriteLine($"Last Price = {priceTick.Price}"));
Console.WriteLine(Environment.NewLine + "press a key to exit...");
Console.ReadKey();
Console.Clear();
// Dispose the subscription to stop receiving ticks.
subscription.Dispose();
// Disconnect from TWS/Gateway.
await client.DisposeAsync();
