The Global Technical Committee has reviewed and preliminarily approved the submitted proposal. This document covers a request to provide data on ExecutionReport(35=8) messages relating to the usage of execution algorithms on orders.
The draft document now enters a public comment period in which public review and feedback is encouraged. Once the public comment period closes, the GTC will review public comments and amend the document accordingly before publishing the final version.
Please post feedback, comments, and questions as replies to this discussion thread. The public comment period ends on April 11, 2025.
It might be worth FIX to also include a similar Elaboration description within the Appendix from TBD AlgoTrialID to LastAlgoID because that information could be considered proprietary and disclosing it could potentially violate firm policies.
Example Description:
Identifies the algorithm a broker has opted to use when executing an order
[Elaboration: Absence of this field indicates that no algorithm was utilized or that the executing party is unable to provide the information.]
Yes it remains a requirement to certify that an algorithm has been tested for creation of or contribution to market disorder on every significant update and explain the means used for the testing. Regulatory focus on algo testing has actually increased in the wake of the May 2022 flash crash.
Hi Khody, my recommendation would be to include that in Recommended Practices so that we’re not locking any specific behaviour into the standard itself.
Jim.
