EBS Globex User Signature

Using the EBS Requests - Globex User Signatures (GUS) function, authorized users can create and manage EBS Globex User Signatures (also known as Trader ID), which identify persons or algo operators authorized to manage EBS Globex Firm ID (GFID) market participant details and submit trades for the GFID and entity.

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).
