BrokerTec Requests

Request Center (ESS) - BrokerTec Requests is a self-service function used to create and manage entity information for CME Globex - BrokerTec entities.

For additional details, refer to the New BrokerTec customer onboarding to CME Globex - Operational Readiness Guide on the BrokerTec portal.

BrokerTec Request Functions:

• Globex Firm IDs: Create and manage CME Globex Firm ID that identifies market participants and is used to segregate customer or business unit activity.

• Globex User Signature: Create and manage Globex User Signatures (GUS) that Identifies BrokerTec participants (persons or algo operators) authorized to manage a group of market participants and submit orders for a given GFID.

• Algorithmic Trading: Identify algorithmic trading systems used by the GFID and GUS and submit an Algorithmic Trading Certification Form.
• Drop Copy Groups: Create and manage sessions that can receive trading activity communications via the iLink order entry gateway.
• Order Entry Sessions: Create and manage Order Entry sessions that are used to send and receive orders and confirmation messages between the client and host.

Note: Using self-service functions, users can create a SenderComp [a concatenation of the Globex Firm ID (GFID), Order Entry Session (Session ID) and a Fault Tolerance Indicator (FTI)], to submit production environment orders.
The FTI is not managed in Request Center (ESS), but it can be submitted in messages.
