Drop Copy Service for iLink - BrokerTec Markets

CME Group customers leveraging the CME Drop Copy service to monitor sessions trading BrokerTec products on CME Globex must also be aware of the functional considerations described in this topic.

Customers implementing Drop Copy to monitor trading activity in BrokerTec markets on the CME Globex platform must first implement Drop Copy Service for iLink and refer to the BrokerTec-specific functionality described in this topic.

Information on iLink 3 Binary order entry for BrokerTec Markets is here.

Order entry activity submitted through the BrokerTec Global Front End (GFE) application can be monitored on the CME Drop Copy service.

BrokerTec Markets on CME Drop Copy

Current CME Group and BrokerTec customers developing Drop Copy applications to sequence Execution Report and Acknowledgment messages from target sessions trading BrokerTec products on CME Globex must be aware of the following.

CME Drop Copy Architecture

For customers choosing to consume message streams from source sessions trading BrokerTec products, a new Drop Copy target session is required.

A CME Drop Copy target session will be replicated across multiple Drop Copy Market Segment gateways, each receiving sequence streams comprised of messages from individual market segments. Duplicate sequence numbers may be received by the target session across market segments.

The diagram below shows the CME Drop Copy architecture managing Market Segment Gateway sequence streams.

CME Drop Copy Session Model

The Drop Copy service for client order entry systems trading BrokerTec products implements a SessionID and access model that offers MSGW target sessions.

MSGW target sessions will sequence streams from source sessions that are unique per market segment and session combination.

  • CME Drop Copy users connect to a given MSGW by leveraging its unique IP address and assigned Drop Copy Session ID, security credentials, and port.

  • Each MSGW target session has a unique IP address for each of the primary and backup Drop Copy MSGW.

For MSGW target sessions, the customer receives standard connection information for the Drop Copy Target session(s) including:

  • SenderCompID – seven digit alphanumeric value consisting of:

o 6-character Session ID

o 1-character Fault Tolerance Indicator = ‘N’ (no fault tolerance)

Session Configuration

Market Segment Gateway Source Sessions

Market Segment Gateway Source Sessions

  • New target SessionID 

  •  

    • new IP pairs - one primary and one backup - each IP pair is associated to a unique MSGW

    • new security credentials

    • new port

For load balancing, the same IP address may be designated primary for one CME Drop Copy target session and backup for another Drop Copy target session.

Managing Sequence Numbers

A single MSGW Drop Copy  session is able to log into into all MSGW instances. To manage message sequence numbers, the client system must leverage the combination of Session ID (the first 6 characters of tag 49-SenderCompID) and tag 57-TargetSubID. 

CME Globex is comprised of a number of market segments. The number of market segments and the instruments listed on each can change in the future. Customers are strongly encouraged to rely programmatically on tag 57-TargetSubID (which contains the tag 1300-MarketSegmentID value) in the Market Data Security Definition message to route orders to the correct MSGW.



MSGW Session ID



MSGW Session ID

Number of sequence stream(s)

Customers must manage different sequence streams, up to the number of current market segments, based on the combination of Session ID and Market Segment ID.

Number of TCP connection(s)

TCP connections for each MSGW instance to access all market segments

SFTP - CME Drop Copy MSGW Configuration

An SFTP site (sftpng.cmegroup.com) is used to disseminate the Drop Copy MSGW configuration information. The MSGW Configuration allows clients system to receive the list of all market segments and MSGW IPs. This SFTP site contains the configuration files for all environments. The SFTP site is a secure site that requires a user name and security credentials for access.

Table Key:

  • Environment - specific environment (i.e., Certification, New Release, Production).

  • The Autocert+ tool uses the NR DCMSGW config file.

  • Service - the Configuration service.

  • SFTP Site - address of SFTP site.

  • User Name - identifies the user name.

  • Security Credentials - identifies the security credentials.

  • Directory Location - identifies the directory.

  • Client System Update Schedule - Client systems should download updates according to the schedule specified.

In addition to the generic User Name/security credentials, client systems can connect using the same credentials used for CME SFTP site.

To download files from the SFTP site, use an SFTP client to connect to sftpng.cmegroup.com.

Tag 57-TargetSubID

Customers may connect directly to all Market Segment Gateways using the same Session ID. Customers can use tag 1300-MarketSegmentID from the market data Security Definition (tag 35-MsgType=d) message to specify the market segment for the products they want to trade on CME Globex.

For iLink messages sent from the client system to CME Globex, MSGW customers can leverage tag 57-TargetSubID to specify the market segment of the instrument. Tag 57-TargetSubID contains the tag 1300-Market SegmentID value. CME Globex will respond and return the tag 57-TargetSubID values submitted in the customer iLink message on tag 50-SenderSubID.

BrokerTec Market Segment 

New Market Segment is defined for each BrokerTec product in  tag 1300-MarketSegmentID in the MDP 3.0 - Security Definition (tag 35-MsgType=d) message.

The first Drop Copy Group is free. Each subsequent Drop Copy Group costs $500/month.

Note: iLink MSGW source session messaging will only be supported on the new Drop Copy implementation.

Instructions for order handling for fixed income markets.

Only Best may be applied to resting and aggressing orders and:

  • Prevents submission of an order if the order’s price is not equal to or better than the best price on the book.

  • Cancels an order from the book if a new order with a better price enters the queue.

  • This order condition permits the order to be alone at the best price level or join other orders at the best price level.

Not Held (Applies only to US Repo) - eliminates quantity remaining from an FaKi order (tag 59=3) and  ensures it will it not be included in a work-up session; however, the order can still trigger a work-up session.

AONs will have a separate book with a separate ISIN. The AON orders that cannot trade immediately can rest in the AON book. They can only trade with AON orders on the other side of the AON book that have the SAME PRICE and SAME QUANTITY.

Administrative Information on Drop Copy Message Payloads

Drop Copy Market Segment Gateway (MSGW) payload messages contain customer optimized business messages constructed by:
