Use when assembling CME Globex order entry messages yourself, to supply the Operator ID and Manual Order Indicator a message is rejected without, apply price banding and validate the fields before dispatch. This is live order entry over iLink 3.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## When to Use

Use this skill when a trading system sends orders to CME Globex — futures and options
on futures such as `ES`, `CL`, `ZB` — and you are assembling the order entry message
yourself rather than handing an order to a vendor OMS that already fills in the
exchange-mandated fields. It covers the four gateway checks a hand-rolled CME client
most often gets wrong:

1. **Operator ID (Tag 50 / iLink 3 `SenderID`)** absent or malformed — CME Rule 576.
2. **Manual Order Indicator (Tag 1028)** absent, or a team/ATS ID used on a manually
   entered order — CME Rule 536.B.
3. **Price banding** implemented as a two-sided check, which rejects perfectly legal
   resting orders that the exchange would accept.
4. **Market with Protection** treated as an unbounded market order, so the residual
   that rests at the protection limit is invisible to position and risk logic.

## When NOT to Use

- **As a session layer.** This module validates and assembles fields. It does not
  encode SBE, run the FIXP session, sequence messages, or recover gaps — see
  `fix-protocol-session-management-across-venues`.
- **For stop and stop-limit orders.** Stop orders on Globex have their own protection

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/cme-globex-futures-api-integration@sha256:ed7bf621dee045f6

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
