Fractional Trade Message Fields

Fractional Trade messages are sent when an order is executed in whole or in part on a Cboe exchange. The last-sale eligible status (Flags field Bit 1) is derived based on four criteria:

  1. The Session Indicator (see Cboe Market Status message) must be in the regular session.
  2. The Last Quantity must be at least one round lot.
  3. The Market Status (see Cboe Market Status message) for the executing exchange must be Normal.
  4. The Transaction Time of the event must be within 10 seconds of the current time.
