Our Data Center, established in 1990 with a grant from the Tudor Investment Corporation, compiles and maintains accurate and detailed databases of market information for e-reference guides such as the Futures and Options Factbook and Security Futures Factbook; and for industry utilities such as the Exchange Trading Fees Databank and the Position Limits Databank.

The IFM’s Exchange Trading Fees Databank help firms effectively monitor trading fees, changes, caps and incentives on global futures and options exchanges and platforms. This low-cost data source helps trading and clearing operations save staff time as well as reduce risk and mistakes. The Fees Databank has two components – Futures and Options and Equity Options – which provides data on most­­ global futures and options exchanges and platforms, as well as select equity options exchanges and platforms. This data service is available only to the FCM and Broker-Dealer community and is offered to qualifying firms under an annual subscription license. Data is delivered in HTML, Excel, ASCII and XML formats, and downloadable via Web and FTP facilities.

The IFM’s Position Limits Databank is a unique static data reference source for position limit related information that was developed at the request of the industry. Our service continuously collects accountability and reporting levels, position limits, contract aggregation, diminishing contract indicators, mini contract multipliers, etc. on global futures and options on futures exchanges. Data can be integrated into your control system; making it easier to monitor levels, discover near-excess positions, file for exemptions and guard against exchange warnings, trading suspensions, fines or regulatory action. The data service is provided via an annual subscription license and delivered in HTML, Excel, ASCII and XML formats, and downloadable via Web and FTP facilities.
