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.
NewMarket Data Source IP Updates - This Week

CME Globex Disaster Recovery Change for iLink Market Segment Gateways (MSGW) - August 10
Effective Sunday, August 10 (trade date Monday, August 11), CME Group will implement a change to the futures and options Order Entry Path Disaster Recovery (DR) Process for a clear and consistent experience in the DR environment across all CME Group markets.
With this change, the MSGW IDs in DR will be the same as those used in Production. Currently, for futures, options on futures markets, FX Link and FX Spot+, the MSGW IDs in DR are incremented by one from those used in Production. This change makes futures and options markets consistent with the current behavior for BrokerTec and EBS on CME Globex DR.
Additional information on the CME Globex Disaster Recovery process is available in the Client Systems Wiki.
New Market Data Multicast Group - Q3 2025
In Q3 2025, CME Group will launch a new market data multicast group to be used for a new CME Group futures product suite in the Equity Indices and Alternative Products asset class.
