CME Clearing360 Trade Reporter
Faster and more convenient Block Trade reporting.
With the safety and security of CME Group.

Get connected to an easier way to report Block Trades.
CME Group will add a new trade capture web-based user interface, and an updated application programming interface (API) that will provide a new and more efficient means of reporting privately-negotiated trades and submitting them to CME Clearing. Available through our CME EOS Trader Web-based front end, CME Clearing360 Trade Reporter lets qualified market participants save time and execute more efficient Block Trades with the safety you have come to trust from CME Group.

Web-based access to CME Clearing360
Clearing360 is an open clearing platform for privately negotiated OTC and block transactions that delivers the full benefits and financial safeguards of CME Group’s central counterparty clearing. By using the Web-based Trade Reporter application through CME EOS Trader you can report a Block Trade for any eligible CME Group product.


Clearing360 and Trade Reporter will: 

  • Price all the legs of the strategy 
  • Verify that the trade conforms with minimum quantity rules
  • Eliminate the need for a phone call to the Global Command Center (GCC)
  • Submit the trade directly to CME Clearing
  • Enable the trade automatically to be loaded to the two clearing firms, once the trade has either passed a credit check on both sides, or been explicitly accepted


Save real time 

  • Realize greater efficiency from straight-through processing of transactions 
    • No need to call the GCC to report the trade 
    • No need for the clearing firm to submit the trade; trade details will automatically flow from the clearing system to the clearing firm Reduce costs due to reduced administrative efforts 
  • Easily manage increased trade volume
