OSTTRA, the global post-trade solutions company and a member of the FIA’s Derivatives Market Institute for Standards (DMIST), is working with DMIST members to identify a data standard for post-trade processing of exchange traded derivatives (ETD).

OSTTRA and DMIST have been working with key industry participants to identify the data set required throughout the ETD post-trade workflow, from voice trade recaps to clearing broker booking confirmations.
