Subscription Requests

The Subscription Request tests verify that your application can request and process STP messages that are sent on a real-time basis.

Note: Brokered trades, including Broker Fee’s (commissions data), flow through the ClearPort venue for retrieval in CME STP, enabling Clearing Firms to see the broker fees on their trade capture reports. To include tests with brokered trade data in the test suite, select 'ClearPort' in response to the interview question, "What venues does your application support? Select one or more:" Detailed information on broker fee retrieval in CME STP is available here.
