FINRA Internal Production Testing

As a reminder, FINRA will often conduct internal production region testing of its TRACE, ORF, ADF and TRF systems on Saturdays without the participation of firms. Clients are advised to only bring up their applications and connect to FINRA on Saturdays if they will be participating in testing.

Clients who connect to FINRA in the production region on Saturdays when FINRA internal testing is taking place may receive acknowledgement messages for any test transactions that are sent during the testing period and are advised to ignore these messages when their production systems are brought up on Mondays following the weekend tests.

The next instance of this testing will occur on November 7. 2020.

Please contact FINRA Product Management or call (866) 899-2107 with questions regarding this notice.
