    The following Nasdad's service provides the real time positions of the stocks' market maker.

    I would like to receive the real time positions of all the Market Participant (MPID) on the futures.
    Is there a service providing these data?
    Thank you.

    Thanks for the suggestions.
    I would like to receive the real time positions.
    For example, if "Barclays Capital" buys 100 ES the report is updated immediately.
    The services you have indicated are not real time.

    My data vendor replied to me as follows:


    **********************************************************************************************


    Firstly, it is nice to virtually meet you, I look after the Market Data Product.

    Secondly, I’ve read the below email chain regarding your requirements. Reading between the lines it appears you are looking for the Tag50 to understand who is submitting the orders into the book, is my understanding correct?

    Tag 50 is used by participants when sending orders to CME, so CME can identify who sent the order. The participant also needs to submit this ID when changing or deleting an order.

    The exchange does not send this ID back in the market data feed, as to a way to identify the orders in the book. If this is what you are trying to do it would not be possible to identify the participants against each order. As a vendor we are limited to supplying what the exchange provides us, this is the same as any vendor and no one will be able to add to the exchanges feed to provide this information, if the exchange does not. Apologies for any confusion.

    If you are trying to do something, please can you explain so we can help you further. Some more information on Tag50 can be found on the below link.

    yes, i was suggesting tag50 half jokingly. Seems like you're trying to see what other participants are doing. Everyone would like that. Maybe there's a squawk box service or become a client at a larger bank.
