• Firms have the option of entering one-sided EFP transactions via MQM Trex messages through use of API or through the BOTCC web site (www.botcc.com)

• Contact your Service Provider

• To access the Board of Trade Clearing Corporation’s Web site type www.botcc.com, then click Firm Login. This will ask you to enter your user Id and Password. When your Business System Group Representative has provided a password for you, the ACT system will prompt you to enter a New Password of your own. Enter a six to eight character password with two of the characters being numeric, such as ‘user21’.

• To enter an EFP trade on the ACT System, go into the Create Summary to add the EFP.

• Allocate is another word for the Seller on the ACT system. The Seller is the only one to punch the trade. The Entry must take place in the Create Summary screen. Be sure to Enter the Opposing Firm Number before submitting. If the Opposing Firm Number is not entered, the sell transaction will be created in an unallocated status.

How to Claim an EFP on the ACT System

• Once an allocation has been entered, the buy firm is able to claim the trade by clicking the 'Fast Claim' button next to the trade to be claimed, entering the buy side account, origin, CTI and fee code (if necessary) and then clicking submit.

• The Opposing firm is able to Reject an allocation by clicking ‘Reject’ in the Claim Summary screen and clicking the submit button.

• The buy firm is able to confirm a reversal of an allocation from the Claim Summary screen by clicking 'Confirm Reversal' and clicking submit.

• If an EFP has not been claimed by the Opposing (buy) firm, the Allocation (sell) firm is able to DELETE that trade by clicking 'Delete' in the Allocate Detail screen and clicking submit.

• If an EFP has been Rejected by the Claiming firm and NOT Claimed, the allocating (sell) firm is able to delete this EFP by clicking ‘GO’ in the Allocate Summary Screen, then clicking ‘Delete’ on the rejected allocation on the Allocate Detail screen. The summary (sell side record) can be deleted by going back into the Allocate Summary screen and clicking 'Delete' once again.

• To delete an EFP allocation with the status of CRV (Confirmed ReVersal), the member firm must go to the allocation detail screen. From the allocation detail screen, the user clicks on delete, then clicks on submit. Once the EFP allocation detail record has been deleted, the member firm can then go back and delete the trade record from either the allocate summary screen or the create summary screen.

• Please note that Confirmed Reversals should NOT be deleted from the ACT system on the same day they were reversed. Deleting a CRV on the same day it was reversed will prevent the transaction from appearing on Daily Trade and Position Registers. CRVs can be deleted from the ACT system the following day.
