Update to broker identification via broker short code prefix for Clearing Members
Dear Clearing Members,
Please be informed of an upcoming ECC change to the broker short code prefix used in the TEXT3 field of the T7 and C7 platforms and their respective reports.
The TEXT3 field is populated by STP vendors to identify the originating broker of a trade, using a broker short code prefix followed by trade information.
With effect from 1 January 2027, the broker short code prefix for all brokers across all platforms will be shortened from three characters to two, placed at the beginning of the TEXT3 field value followed by the trade information/ID.
The updated broker short code prefix list, reflecting the new 2-character structure, is provided in the table in below.
Please find detailed information in the document below.
