This Data Dictionary is for systems analysts, programmers, and others who submit data to and receive data
from CTM:
l When you use the XML interface, you submit and receive CTM XML messages. The messages flow
among orderers (instructing parties), executors (broker/dealers), prime brokers, and other trade parties.
l Broker/dealers use MTI to submit and receive trade data in comma-separated value (CSV) files. When you
use MTI, you submit blocks and contracts to CTM. You receive responses, allocations, exceptions, and
final trade data from CTM. MTI translates the data it receives from broker/dealers into XML messages.
