TRACE data feed clients must adhere to the new protocol and feed changes by this date. FINRA has updated the ATDS, BTDS, and BTDS-144A specifications, IP address configurations and the MOLD/UDP 64 specification.

Nightly Test File:

Beginning Monday, August 5, 2024, the ATDS, BTDS, and BTDS-144A nightly test file replay will be disseminated. TRACE data recipients are invited to process the replay via the new weeknight test addresses. The nightly test file is planned to be available from approximately 9:30 – 10:30 p.m. ET each weekday evening. The file data contents will be static and will only change periodically until the September 9, 2024 production date.
