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, Request Center allows the creation of only one GUS/GFID association 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.
  • Order Entry Sessions: Create and manage order entry sessions, which are used for bidirectional order entry 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 / cancel orders on the production environment. The FTI is not created in Request Center, but it can be submitted for order messages.
If you have more than one application to certify, you can obtain more than one ID
