Do you have more details about the information included in the field: CONTRACT_CODE?

Contract code is a unique code for each of the listed derivative contracts. The code includes information about the type of the contract (future or options), underlying, and maturity, standard or non-standard for futures and options contracts. For the options contracts the code also shows whether the option is American or European, call or put and its strike price.

How can we differentiate between an option and a future?

You can differentiate the options and futures by looking at the Contract_Code, futures have a contract code starting with F, options have a contract code starting with O. On the other hand SC message type (list of newly listed/delisted/expired contracts) shows the instrument code with the "IN" label. Following are the IN values for our derivatives market;

OPEN	Index Options

When a contract is suspended: CS (contract status) = S, does this mean that the trading can resume again or no?

Yes, suspended contracts can resume trading again.

What is the meaning of the field: PS (Price change limit) received in the message SB. Was it the percentage of variation of the price based on a referential?

PS is previous settlement price of the contract. If you mean PR which is the price change limit, it shows the variation limit for contracts according to the settlement prices. This field is just sent for the futures.

I want to know whether the upper trading limit (UP) and Lower trading limit (DP) are static or dynamic can change during a session?

Currently these fields are static during sessions.

Can you confirm that the last trade price (LP in SB message) corresponds to the last trade price of the last session?

Yes, it is the last trade price of the last session.

Can you confirm that the first character of the field CONTRACT_CODE will not be impacted by the possible changes?

We have no intention to change the first character of the Contract_code currently, but it would be more reasonable to distinguish the type of the contracts from other packages such as the SC, not from the Contract_Code.

Do we receive the SC message for all instruments on daily basis even instruments made live for a while (not newly listed)?

No, you receive the SC message when there is a delisted, listed or expired contract. On the other hand at the beginning of the day you receive all of the listed contracts’ SB packages. We also publish a file called “Contracts” on our website, contracts file show the all tradable contracts for the next session.

Where can we find the information: standard – not standard for options and future?

SG and SN fields within the SC message show the standard and non-standard information.

Can you confirm please that a CONTRACT_CODE can be attached to one MARKET_CODE, one INSTRUMENT_CODE and one BOARD?

Partially yes, each contract is traded under three different boards which are main boards, negotiated deals board and advertising board.Currently we don’t have any other identifier for the contracts shorter than the Contract_Code; there are ISIN codes which you can obtain from our ClearingHouse (Takasbank) The ISIN codes are unique for each traded contracts.

Does Value N for TRADE_TYPE correspond to a trade in OTC (Block trade for example?) if this is the case do we have a special kinematic for trade reporting?

N stands for negotiated deals trade that is done in the negotiated deals board. It is a block trade but the trade is done within the Exchange. We advise you to show these trades separately since the prices can differ from the main market.

Does Value E for TRADE_TYPE correspond to a modification of a previous trade? Do you send the value M for the field TRADE_CONDITION? And do you send all the data to display the new trade values?

E stands for erroneous trade which is a modification of a previous trade as you have mentioned. For the initial trade we sent the M value. For the erroneous trade we send all the data to the vendors.

When you cancel a trade, are you going to send only the trade reference, or you send also the trade price and volume?

When we cancel a trade, the TR message is sent to vendors. That message contains trade price, number and trade volume information.

Do you recommend displaying the information related to the BOARD to our clients or no?

We advise vendors to display the trades for different boards separately, so you will have two different boards to display which are negotiated deals board and main board (advertising board is not active currently)

On which case you will send the CB message?

CB messages are sent at the beginning of each trading day, the message has a functionality to clear all the relevant data and after the CB message we send the market depth messages for the relevant contracts. Since we have a single session we use the CB message only at the beginning of the day. But if we introduce another session such as fixing session, we will be sending the CB messages at the beginning of the new session.

Do we receive price of the first trade of the day or the session only one time during the trading day?

Yes exactly, you will receive it once in a day as VIOP has only one session.

Do you have more details about the rules of Negotiated deal boards and Advertising BOARDS?

Please have a look at our market guide for detailed information.

Do you update the best limits if the client sends an order in the negotiated deal board?

Only the trade information messages (TR) through the data feed for the negotiated deals are sent. So, no order info is sent for negotiated deals board and advertising board and we do not update the best limits for the orders sent to these boards.

Do you include the trades that take place in negotiated deal board and Advertising board in the calculation of the VWAP?

The Neg Deal and Advertising Board trades do not affect the VWAP.

What is the value for the field: ‘SE’: Name of the session?

Currently we have the SENormal (for the main board) and SENegdeal (for the negotiated deals board) values. Please note that as soon as the trading begins the session field gives information about the session, so at the beginning of the day before the trade session beginning you will receive SE field as blank. When the session starts you will receive SENormal for the main board. Normal represents the continuous auction method, so if we apply a fixing session within the main board you will receive the feed with SEFixing.

What am I supposed to receive in the message TR for the trade correction? (TRADE_CONDITION = M | TRADE_TYPE=E| new price or quantity| Same trade number)

The trade correction is a totally new trade with trade condition M and trade type E. The trade will have a different trade number, but the price and the quantity value will be the same as the original trades.

In which case we can have Manual Trade (TRADE_TYPE = M)?

Previously the erroneous trades were done with manual trades but currently this trade type is not used for that purpose. M stands for manual trades which are done by the Exchange, so it will occur in extraordinary cases when the Exchange needs to make trades for the brokerage houses. We advise you to differentiate these trades as well.

Can you clarify what the SECURITY_GROUP_NAME values ‘S’ and ‘N’ represent?
