IT – INET – Updates to all INET Nordic FIX Protocols (31/15)
As previously communicated in IT-Notice 24/15 Nasdaq Nordic and Nasdaq Baltic will introduce a larger improvement to the native INET protocols.
Nasdaq Nordic will introduce nanosecond timestamp granularity across all INET Nordic protocols, the first important step in the preparation for MiFID II.
All INET Nordic FIX protocols will be enhanced by extending to nanosecond granularity timestamps. The FIX protocol specifications have been updated to reflect this change.
In addition to the timestamp enhancement two new fields are added for future use. A new FIX Tag [1816] – “Clearing Account Type” is introduced across all FIX Protocols. FIX Trade Reporting protocols includes an additional FIX Tag [20104] – “Contra Clearing Account Type” (for two-sided trade reporting). These new fields are applicable for CCP clearing and will be used to determine whether a trade is booked to a house or client account. The field(s) will replace the role the Order Capacity field currently has in CCP clearing. The Order Capacity field remains mandatory.
A separate IT-Notice about the CCP Clearing changes will be communicated at a later stage. Current behavior stands until further noticed!
Latest information on upcoming changes is available at “INET Nordic Enhancements”.
Protocol specifications
Updated FIX protocol specifications and a delta document “FIX Protocol Changes” are available at Nasdaq Nordic Technical Information web site under Future INET Nordic Protocol Specifications.
