Use when several order-generating processes under one beneficial owner quote the same instrument on the same venue, configuring native self-match prevention such as the CME iLink and FIX identifier and instruction fields.

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 firm runs more than one order-generating process against the same instrument on the same venue under the same beneficial owner — multiple strategies, a market maker quoting both sides, a SOR fanning a parent across child algos, or a hedger unwinding into a book its own maker is still quoting. In that setup the firm's own buy and sell orders will eventually meet in the matching engine, and the resulting print is a self-match.

The venue, not the client, prevents this. Exchanges expose a **Self-Match Prevention (SMP / STP)** identifier plus an instruction saying which side to pull. This module does two things:

1. **Encodes** the SMP identifier and instruction onto the field and value the target venue actually accepts — the tag numbers and enum values differ per venue and are not interchangeable.
2. **Audits** the order against a snapshot of the firm's own resting orders and predicts which of them the venue would cancel, so a self-collision is visible pre-trade rather than discovered in a surveillance report.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/exchange-self-match-prevention-configuration@sha256:d0e0de03f88790e7

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.
