Pros

Cons

Single Event

  • Full range of lot selection methods available.

  • Support for non-deliverable swap (NDS) trades.

  • The contract and legs are always processed together (the whole trade succeeds or the whole trade fails).

  • Batch ID can be generated by Eagle for all trade methods.

  • All new multi-leg derivatives enhancements will utilize single event.

  • Minor remapping may be required for automation. In most cases a Single Event message is a subset of a Multiple Events message, but new tags were added to support certain use cases (sending traded interest instead of allowing Eagle to calculate it, for example).

  • Limited history of usage in production.

Multiple Events

  • Long history of usage in production.

  • Limited lot selection methods available (FIFO, LIFO, IDLOT).

  • Limited support for NDS trades.

  • Can result in “broken legs” (the contract and pay leg succeed, but the receive leg fails, for example).

  • Batch ID must be provided on the inbound message for CSV trades.
