This file is not refreshed throughout the trading day. Once a trading day has started, the following intra-day instrument changes are not reflected in the file until a new one is generated that evening:

  • New instruments added during the day
  • Covered options spreads that expire at the end of the trading day
  • User Defined Spreads (UDS) created during the trading day

CME Group strongly recommends using this file either in addition to or as a back up for the market data channels due to risk of unaccounted for intra-day instrument additions and deletions.

The Market Schedule File (TradingSessionList.dat) lists all Security Groups with state changes scheduled for each Trading Date of the current week. It is available for the Futures and Options New Release and Production environments.

This Market Schedule File is available for Futures and Options only.

The Market Schedule file is created on Sundays and will be available all week. It will not be refreshed throughout the week. 

Mid-week changes to the schedule are not updated in the file.

Use of the Market Schedule File is optional.

CME Reference Data API
