  • Monday through Friday - 8:30 PM

The Security Definition Flat File file contains the Security Definition (tag 35-MsgType=d) message information for the start of the next trading day, including instrument data and daily settlement prices.

This file is not refreshed throughout the trading day. Once a trading day has started, the following intra-day instrument changes are not reflected in the file until a new one is generated that evening:

  • New instruments added during the day

  • Covered options spreads that expire at the end of the trading day

  • User Defined Spreads (UDS) created during the trading day
