This topic provides the information required for client system developers to build a new system or convert their existing system to process streamlined Simple Binary Encoding (SBE) market data for Block Trades. A Block Trade is a privately negotiated futures or option on futures transaction executed apart from the public auction market and permitted in designated contracts subject to specified conditions.
CME Group provides a Simple Binary Encoding format geared for non-actionable price data. Streamlined SBE is distinct from MDP3.0 format for CME Globex market data dissemination. As such, streamlined SBE has a dedicated message specification, message template, and Market Data Platform configuration.

Spread Processing
The following diagram shows a spread trade event with bundled legs across multiple packets. The spread summary is denoted by [167]=MLEG. After the first packet, the summary will not contain the trade price and quantity. The value in tag 654-LegRefID links the leg trade to tag 1788-LegID in the leg definition. After the spread trade event, duplicate leg trades for the spread are sent in individual packets.
