Position Reporting Under CFTC Part 17

On April 30, 2024, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") approved final rules to amend its Large Trading Reporting Regulations for Futures and Options. The amendments were made to modernize CFTC's Large Trader Reporting process and align it with other reporting structures outlined in CFTC regulations.

Since October 2024, CME Group has offered methods to retrieve its instrument listing containing the Unique Instrument Code (UIC) and other instrument data elements in compliance with the amended rule.

Starting March 10, 2025, CME Group began accepting test files in the new Position Message FIXML format via SFTP. For details regarding submitting the new FIXML Position Message, file management, field validations, and example scenarios, please refer to the information in CME Group Client Systems Wiki.

The Market Regulation Department will be publishing further guidance regarding Large Trader Reporting in subsequent Special Executive Reports as solutions become available.

CFTC's final rules became effective upon publication in the Federal Register on June 3, 2024. Reporting Firms must comply with the CFTC's final rules regarding Large Trader Reporting Requirements two years after publication in the Federal Register.

Effective Sunday, May 18 (trade date Monday, May 19), CME Group will extend the Messaging Efficiency Program (MEP) to include a Treasury futures roll volume ratio in 5 and 10 Year Treasury Note futures in order to encourage responsible messaging practices during the Treasury futures roll period.

The additional volume ratio will be enforced during each of the last 10 trade dates before First Notice Day during all Treasury futures roll periods. This ratio requires that for each day, all Globex Firm IDs which submit 5 million per day of Order Entry Quantity in 5 and 10 Year Treasury futures product groups during a specific combined ETH and RTH trading session, during the last 10 trade dates before First Notice Day, maintain a ratio of 3,000 or less between Order Entry Quantity and executed volume. 

Globex Firm IDs who exceed the CME Globex Treasury Futures Roll MEP product group benchmark of 3,000:1 will face a daily charge of $10,000; a second violation in the same month will be referred to CME Market Regulation. 

In addition to the Treasury futures roll scoring ratio in 5 and 10 Year Treasury Note futures, market participants will continue to be held to all other MEP volume ratios.

Please refer to the CME Globex Messaging Efficiency Program for additional information.

UpdateRedesigned Request Center Within CME Customer Center - May 18

† Denotes update to the article

† Effective Sunday, May 18, the Request Center within the CME Customer Center self-service functionality will feature a simplified, redesigned interface and streamlined navigation. For a clear and consistent experience across CME Group services, the Request Center will include updated terminology and instances of spelled out acronyms.

There will be no major functional updates to the user interface at this time and access will remain based on individual CME Group Login entitlements.

Currently, "Registered Entity" or "Administration Group" identifies a customer firm within the Request Center and the redesign will feature "Administration Group" for consistency.

References to "Tag 50" will be updated to "Globex Operator ID" or "GOID" to reflect terminology used on the Market Regulation Advisory Board Rule 576. To facilitate a smooth transition, the "Tag 50" references will remain in the Request Center for a period of time.

Acronyms currently in the user interface will be spelled out, such as "Globex Firm ID," "Futures and Options" and "Order Entry" naming will identify the "iLink Sessions."
