Read more about what the Market Data Processor (MDP) entity portal is and registering to use it.
On this page 
The MDP entity portal provides investment firms the ability to download extracts of transaction reporting data they have submitted under Article 26 of UK MiFIR.
These data extracts should be used to reconcile against firms’ own front-office trading records to identify any errors or omissions.
The MDP entity portal also provides updates to the industry on any technical changes or issues with the MDP.
Entities with established connectivity to the MDP to submit market data can monitor file submissions and manage digital certificates for Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) connectivity through the MDP entity portal.

To access the MDP entity portal, you must register for an MDP Administrator User account.

Important things to note
- A person will only be able to request a sample of transaction reporting data when the person making a request is authorised to do so by the executing entity.
- A firm will be able to request a sample of transaction reporting data where a user is identified as being associated with the executing or submitting entity identified on the transaction report.
- Trading venues that use an Approved Reporting Mechanism (ARM) to submit transaction reports for firms cannot request sample data. Trading venues should liaise with their ARM.
- An executing or submitting entity can only make one request per day.
- The maximum amount of data that can be returned in response to a single request is either 1 day's worth of data, or up to 10 million records when based on a date range.
- Sample data is only available once the transaction report has passed instrument reference data validation.
- The field 'Investment Firm covered by Directive 2014/65/EU (field 5)' needs to be populated with ‘TRUE’ for an executing entity to retrieve data extracts.
An MDP Transaction Report Data Extract Service User Guide is available to download from the MDP Entity Portal.
The transaction report data extract schema (XSD) describes how the elements of a transaction report are represented in an XML document, generated by the MDP system once a request is made.
