Mapping between Kodiak OMS order capacity and MiFID II trading capacity

Client Identification Code

Short code corresponding to LEI, National ID, ‘AGGR’ or ‘PNAL’. Mandatory if Kodiak OMS Order Capacity = Client, Issuer Holding,or Issue Price Stabilizing (MiFID II Trading Capacity = AOTC or MTCH ).

Code used to identify the client of the member or participant of the trading venue.  Where the client is a legal entity, the LEI code of the client shall be used. Where the client is not a legal entity, the National ID shall be used. In case of aggregated orders, the flag AGGR shall be used. In case of pending allocations, the flag PNAL shall be used. This field shall be left blank only if the member or participant of the trading venue has no client.

Investment decision within firm

Short code corresponding to National ID or algorithm ID. Mandatory if  Kodiak OMS Order Capacity = Own Account or Market Maker (MiFID II Trading Capacity = DEAL).

Code used to identify the person or the algorithm within the member or participant of the trading venue who is responsible for the investment decision. Where a natural persons within the member or participant of the trading venue is responsible for the investment decision the person who is responsible or has primary responsibility for the investment decision shall be identified with the National ID. This field shall be left blank when the investment decision was not made by a person or algorithm within the member or participant of the trading venue.

Execution decision within firm

Short code corresponding to National ID or algorithm ID or ‘CLIENT’ ('CLIENT' is now defined as 'NORE'). Always Mandatory for all Order Capacities.

Code used to identify the person or algorithm within the member or participant of the trading venue who is responsible for the execution of the transaction resulting from the order. Where a natural person is responsible for the execution of the transaction, the person shall be identified National ID. Where more than one person or a combination of persons and algorithms are involved in the execution of the transaction, the member or participant or client of the trading venue shall determine the trader primarily responsible and populate this field with the identity of that trader.

CLIENT (NORE) - Should be used when the firm receives specific instructions from the client, which prevents the investment firm from taking its own execution decision. In this case the execution decision was already taken by persons outside the investment firm without any further intervention by the investment firm in that case should the field "Execution decision within firm" be filled with the identifier 'CLIENT' ( or 'NORE').

Nasdaq's Solution

The new Order Entry fields that are introduced may contain sensitive and confidential data, therefore the solution that Nasdaq will implement requires members to submit short
codes on each order. These fields are Client identification, Execution decision and Investment Decision. Nasdaq will support short codes for the Equity, Equity Derivatives,
Commodities and Fixed Income markets.

The short codes will be created by the members. Nasdaq will not validate short codes upon order entry, but expect a short code that
has been used a specific trading date, to be mapped up at the latest by end of day, that very same date.

Kodiak OMS Solution

Client Order: Two new order entry field will be available in the Client Order Window.
