CommData Element
CME STP trade reports have a dedicated block, the CommData element, for broker fees. Valid attributes are:
Name | Abbr | Data Type | Description |
Basis | Basis | Integer | Type of Rate initially allowed for broker fees: 1 = Per Unit 2 = Percentage 8 = Per Contract |
Rate | Rt | Decimal | Rate per basis. For example, $1 per contract. |
Unit of measure | UOM | String | Unit of measure for trade. |
Unit of Measure Currency | UOMCcy | String | Currency unit of measure for trade. |
Currency | Ccy | String | Trade currency. Default is USD. |
Leg Reference ID | LegRefID | Integer | Trade leg identifier.Required on all CommData legs of a spread. |
Certain fee updates may not be passed through. Broker fees will not be published on CME STP Trade Capture Reports resulting from the following post-trade allocations:
Allocations / Reassignment from a Customer Holding Account to an actual Customer Account
- APS
Although these post-trade activities may change the ownership of the trade, the Broker Fees will only be available to the original trade owner.
FIXML Structure Rules
The order of elements is critical in FIXML so the new Broker fees element should always be in the following order:
- After RegTrdID and
- Before TrdRegTS
The new CommData element will be present in the RptSide messaging component.
Each CommData element will represent one Broker fee.
