CME STP

CME Straight Through Processing (CME STP FIXML) enables customers to connect to the Exchange to retrieve post-trade messages containing NYMEX, COMEX, Gulf Mercantile Exchange (GME), CBOT via CMD, and CME cleared trade information. The CME STP solution focuses on end-to-end trading customer interfaces for all markets and provides real-time trade flow between the front and middle office.

The Exchange requires a basic working knowledge of FIXML to interface with CME Straight-Through Processing API (CME STP). Information on FIX protocol and access to the FIXML 5.0 SP2 specifications are located at http://fixprotocol.org.
