EBS Requests Functions

  • Globex Firm IDs: Create and manage GFIDs, which identify EBS market participants.

Also known as Deal / Floor Code.

  • Globex User Signatures: Create and manage a GUS, which identifies EBS participants (persons or algo operators) authorized to manage EBS GFID market participant details and submit trades for the GFID and entity.

Also known as Trader ID.

Note: A GUS can be associated to multiple GFIDs; however, only one GUS/GFID association can be created per request.
A company can have more than one GFID and GUS for each venue / market.

  • Algorithmic Trading: Identify algorithmic trading systems used by the GFID and GUS and submit an Algorithmic Trading Certification Form.
  • Drop Copy Groups: Create sessions to monitor trading activity messages and manage secure key pairs for session authentication.

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.
