Indicates a Business Level Reject which is generated by CME Globex when a message submitted by the client fails business level validation.

This can happen for any of the following reasons:

  • Unknown ID
  • Unknown security
  • Unsupported message type
  • Application not available
  • Conditionally required field missing
  • Not authorized
  • Delivery to firm not available
  • Other (unspecified)
*** Order Priority Example
Book PriorityTag 37707 - MDOrderPriority (Order Priority)Order ID759QuantityPriceSide
1653654111101000Buy
27036997591201000Buy
3765935201301000Buy
452412390150980Buy

OrderPriority (from Globex tag 37707-MDOrderPriority), from lowest to highest values, is used to position the order against other orders of the same instrument, side, and price.

To build the full depth order book, each order must be sorted by instrument, side, and price (in descending order for Bids and ascending order for Asks). Then the order priority number must be applied only to the orders of the same price/ side.

In the example shown here, 37-OrderID 111 has a better book priority (1) than OrderID 901 despite OrderID 901 having a lower tag 37707-MDOrderPriority value.

As shown in the example to the left, a lower value is a better priority.
