Real-time swap reporting requirements

Equity Derivatives Anatomy™
  1. Effective execution: When you give us an order to enter into, modify or terminate a Transaction (an Order):
    1. Acknowledgement: By acknowledging your Order we will attempt to execute it at or near the requested price or quantity;
    2. Communication: anything we tell you about your Order (including that it has been “filled”) conveys only an indicative value at which we may be able to fill the order; and
    3. No binding trade: The Order will not be binding or considered “executed” for any purposes until we deliver to you a final confirmation evidencing the final terms of the Transaction.
