BrokerTec support on CME

On this page

BrokerTec products are available on their own market segment at CME via dedicated iLink 3 sessions. CME iLink 3 Message Gateway (MSGW) connections use Simple Binary Encoding, which is a FIX standard order-entry protocol for trading futures, options, and BrokerTec products on CME Globex.

Product definitions downloaded to TT from CME for BrokerTec contain a market segment ID. When an order action is submitted for a product, TT routes the order to a Market Segment Gateway (MSGW) based on the market segment ID for that product.

TT supports two market segments through two markets:

  • Market segment 40: CME_BrokerTec supports cash futures with the exchange data centre located in New York.
  • Market segment 48: CME_BrokerTec_Chicago supports cash futures with the exchange data centre located in Aurora.

Setting up TT users to trade BrokerTec on CME

As an administrator in Setup, you can configure the connection, account, and user settings needed for new or existing BrokerTec users to trade U.S. Treasuries on CME. You can also set up existing CME users to trade BrokerTec via an iLink 3 session.

For new users trading BrokerTec products on CME, do the following:

  • Create a new CME iLink 3 connection dedicated to the BrokerTec market segment using the Connections | Exchanges | CME_BrokerTec or CME_BrokerTec_Chicago.
  • Create a new user in the Users tab and configure the user settings on the Users | Exchanges | CME_BrokerTec or CME_BrokerTec_Chicago tab.
  • Create a new account in the Accounts tab and configure the account settings on the Accounts | Exchanges | CME_BrokerTec or CME_BrokerTec_Chicago tab.

For BrokerTec or CME exchange users that want to trade U.S. Treasuries on CME, do the following:

  • Create a new CME iLink 3 connection dedicated to the BrokerTec market segment using the Connections | Exchanges | CME_BrokerTec or CME_BrokerTec_Chicago tab.

    Note: Current CME users on TT can migrate an existing iLink 2 connection to an iLink 3 type in the CME Production Portal.
  • Select a user in the Users tab data grid and configure the user settings on the Users | Exchanges | CME_BrokerTec or CME_BrokerTec_Chicago tab
  • Select an account in the Accounts tab data grid and configure the account settings on the Accounts | Exchanges | CME_BrokerTec or CME_BrokerTec_Chicago tab.
