CTS is able to import a number of backoffice files from the FCM. These files include account balance, account net position and contract margin files.
CTS requires the files be sent to a pair of secure FTP servers via SFTP or FTPS. Please contact CTS for project approval and FTP credentails.
| We require files be sent to two secure ftp servers in parallel. |
| ftp.t4login.com & ftp2001.t4login.com |
| SFTP and FTPS are supported. Sandard FTP will not be accepted. |
| Standard GMI Files: |
| Account Balances = MNYF1 |
| Account Net Positions = POSF1 (sometimes POSF2 has been used) |
| No standard file we are aware of for margins. |
| General Formatting: |
| Both fixed width and comma separated. File layout documentation should be provided for each file. |
| Uncompressed. No binary data. No special characters. The data should be human readable. Numeric values should look like 12345.67. |
| Trigger Files: |
| Trigger files are used for timing purposes as well as to provide us with the clearing date corresponding to the data. |
| The name of the trigger file should match that of the data but with the extension "*.trg". |
| The only value within the file should be the date in format "dd mmm yyyy". |
| If the data is for clearing date Jan 2nd 2012 and it was sent at 2:00 am on the third then the trigger must contain “02 JAN 2012”. |
