MDP 3.0 - Market By Order Limited Depth Book Processing

This section outlines Market by Order Limited Depth (MBOLD) functionality for the CME MDP Conflated UDP and CME MDP Conflated TCP market data groups. MBOLD sends the top 10 bid and ask orders on an order book for a given instrument. MBOLD allows clients to view top position(s) while preserving market participant anonymity. Within a market event, MBOLD order books are sent before Market by Price (MBP) order books. 

Current CME Globex Market by Order (MBO) functionality will be re-branded to "Market By Order Full Depth (MBOFD)" to better differentiate it from "Market by Order Limited Depth (MBOLD)".

Unlike standard CME Globex MDP incremental book processing, MBOLD uses an overlay approach to book management. Overlay book management completely restates the MBOLD book with each new Market Data Snapshot Full Refresh (tag 35-MsgType=W) message. The MBOLD orders are sorted by price and priority within a price level. Bid-ask encoding is interleaved (first bid, followed by first ask, followed by second bid, followed by second ask, etc). Order Priority (tag 37707-MDOrderPriority), from lowest to highest values, is used to position the order against other orders of the same instrument side, and price.

MBOLD order priority is based on the sequence of iLink orders received by a CME Globex market segment (tag 1300-MarketSegmentID) and will be sent accordingly, regardless of the match algorithm. Implied order book information is not sent in MBOLD format.

MBOLD Processing Examples

The examples below illustrate how an order book is built and updated for MBOLD processing. The quantity and order count are provided.

Example 1 - Single Update

This example shows a new limit bid order accepted and added to the second level of the book. The following examples assume there are no other updates within a conflation interval and the book price processing is non-inverted.

Example 4 - No MBOLD Message Update

In this example, a bid order is added greater than the maximum 10 MBOLD depth. Consequently, only a Market by Price (MBP) book update will be sent. The following examples assume there are no other updates within a conflation interval and the book price processing is non-inverted.

New Order Entered

A new order is entered to bid 10 @ 98. No MBOLD message is generated due to the update is outside of the maximum MBOLD book depth of 10. An MBP book update will be sent to reflect the new order.   

Example 5 - All Orders Removed

In this example, an order is canceled to create an empty book. Consequently, an empty Snapshot (tag 35-MsgType=W) book update is generated.
