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.

The iLink Order Entry functional and message specifications on the Client Systems Wiki site have been refreshed and reorganized to reflect the iLink 2 Convenience Gateways (CGW) decommission. iLink supports Binary Order Entry messaging protocol for both CGW and Market Segment Gateways (MSGW) sessions.

UpdateCME Globex Treasury Futures Roll Messaging Efficiency Program Addition - May 18

† Denotes update to the article

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 †greater than 5 million per day of Order Entry Quantity in 5 †or 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. 

Contact the CME Global Command Center in the US at +1 800 438 8616, in Europe at +44 20 7623 4747 or in Asia at +65 6532 5010, or your Global Account Manager with any questions.

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."
