Product Type

Calculation

Equities(Accepted Late + Outstanding FDID Errors + Outstanding Rejections (Ingestion and Intrafirm) + Outstanding Intrafirm Unlinked Events + Outstanding Out of Sequence Events + Outstanding Interfirm Unlinked Events + Outstanding Exchange Unlinked Events + Outstanding TRF Unlinked Events)/Total Processed
Options(Accepted Late + Outstanding FDID Errors + Outstanding Rejections (Ingestion and Intrafirm) + Outstanding Intrafirm Unlinked Events + Outstanding Out of Sequence Events + Outstanding Interfirm Unlinked Events + Outstanding Exchange Unlinked Events)/Total Processed

  • Note: The records counted in the numerator of the Daily Compliance Error Rate are a distinct count of Events. For example, if a record that is reported late has an out of sequence event and an intrafirm unlinked event, then it will be counted only once in the Daily Compliance Error Rate.
     
  • Named Errors do not participate in the Compliance Error Rate.
