3. Details

Report TR166 

With T7 Release 8.1 for the Xetra trading platform (MIC Code: XETR) on 29 June 2020, and with the migration of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange trading platform (including the Structured Products of Börse Frankfurt Zertifikate AG) to the T7 trading system on 24August 2020 (MIC Code: XFRA), the new report "TR166 Identifier Mapping Final Error Report" will be made available to Trading Participants on a daily basis.

The report contains the not decrypted short codes of a trading day "T" after the period "T+1". It also contains the number of all used short codes in addition to the number of not decrypted short codes of trading day "T" as well as their percentage shares. The report supports Trading Participants to determine the final error rates of their data deliveries for trading day "T" after the "T+1" deadline.

The report will be available in the T7 simulation environment for XETR and XFRA from 3 June 2020.

Legal basis

Since 3 January 2018, all Trading Participants have been required to identify the algorithm they are using in connection with their participation in exchange trading, the execution decision maker, the investment decision maker and the client (Article 48(10) of Directive 2014/65 EU and Article 25(2)(3) of Regulation 600/2014). These legal requirements were incorporated in the Exchange Rules of Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse (FWB®) (§§ 40, 74 and 114 Exchange Rules FWB®). We would like to point out that violations against these reporting requirements will in future be handed to the Sanctions Committee.

Please find all flagging options and scenarios in the document “MiFID II/MiFIR flagging requirements” on the Xetra website www.xetra.com under the following link:

The fields “execution decision”, “investment decision” and “clientID” in the orders are to be filled using the “short code” solution. Please note that algorithms do not need to be encrypted using short codes due to their numerical format. Only natural persons and Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs) need encryption using the short code solution. The investment decision and execution decision identifiers are to be set to either “Algorithm” or “Natural person”. 

Trading Participants are obliged to upload the corresponding explanatory long codes to their short codes in the FWB® upload functionalities (SFTP or Member Section) prior to but not later than the next trading day (T+1). Algorithm certificates need to be provided to FWB® prior to the usage of algorithms via the FWB® upload functionalities (SFTP or Member Section). For further details, please refer to the “Reporting Handbook” on the Xetra website under the link stated above.
