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.

NewCME Global Command Center (GCC) Best Practices

To expedite critical order status assistance from the Global Command Center (GCC), please complete these three steps:

1. Create a CME Group Login if you do not already have one.
2. Register for Access: Register for both FirmSoft Access and Two-Factor (2FA) Authentication using a phone number unique to you.
3. Test Call: Once you have access to FirmSoft and 2FA, we recommend making a test call to the GCC during a non-emergency/non-critical time when you have working or filled orders in the market. This will familiarize you with our order status and cancellation protocols and ensure your CME Group login is recognized. For security purposes, our analysts will verify your information if 2FA is not recognized or if you call from a non-2FA registered phone number.

Order status and cancellations may require specific details about your order(s): Firm ID, Trader ID, Globex User Signature (GUS), Globex Firm Id (GFID), Account Number, Trade Order Number (TON), Specific Instrument(s), Order Quantity, and/or Date and Time of Order.

Please prioritize order(s) for cancellation based on market and execution risk. The GCC will confirm your cancellation request before execution, verify the cancellation is complete, and review the status of your remaining orders with you.

UpdateRedesigned Request Center Within CME Customer Center - June 15

† Denotes update to the article

† Effective Sunday, June 15, 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."
