Fills Only Mode

For participants who only need fill notifications (not the complete order lifecycle), the drop copy session can be configured in “fills only” mode. When enabled:
  • Only ExecutionReport messages with ExecType = F (Trade) are sent
  • Order acknowledgements, cancellations, modifications, and rejections are not included
  • Reduces message volume for participants focused solely on trade reconciliation
To enable fills only mode, request this configuration when setting up your drop copy session with the exchange operator.
