Flow from CME ClearPort API to CME STP to Customer

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.

Where accounts are allocated on only one side of the trade, the broker can only submit broker fees at the side level (RptSide) and the same Basis, Rt, Ccy; and an enriched UOM and UOMCcy will be reported on CME STP at the Side/Leg level for each allocation.

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 Broker fees will not be published on CME STP Trade Capture Reports resulting from the following post-trade allocations: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.
