MIAX PEARL has just released the full set of Interface Specifications supporting the MIAX PEARL Exchange which is pending SEC approval.

• MIAX Express Orders (MEO)
  • The MEO interface is a low latency interface that supports bulk binary order sending in both Auto-Replace format (follows quote handling mechanics) and Standard binary orders (follows traditional order handling mechanics). The MEO interface is available to all Electronic Exchange Members (EEMs) and Market Makers (MMs).
• FIX Order Interface (FOI)
  • FOI conforms to the FIX protocol and is used by EEMs to send Orders to PEARL.
• FIX Drop Copy Port (FXD)
  • The FXD provides real-time trade information about Firm’s FOI orders via the FIX protocol.
• PEARL Clearing Trade Drop (CTD)
  • The CTD is a binary interface that provides real-time trade information for all PEARL executions, corrections and cancels.
• PEARL Liquidity Feed (PLF)
  • The PLF is a binary multicast feed that provides real-time depth of book updates for all actionable PEARL orders.
• PEARL Top of Market (ToM)
  • ToM is a binary multicast feed that provides real-time Best Bid & Offer (PBBO) and Last Sale prices for PEARL.

The MIAX PEARL system will be available in the MIAX PEARL Firm Test Bed #2 (FTB2) environment in mid-November. Specific dates will be announced via a future Technical Alert.
