Cancel Reason Codes on Order Entry and Broadcast feeds

TMX Equities is pleased to announce enhanced reason codes for unsolicited cancels on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"), TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and TSX Alpha Exchange ("Alpha"). Cancel reason codes address the differences between cancellations caused by Immediate-Or-Cancel, Fill-Or-Kill, Order Protection Rule and Self-Trade Prevention. Changes will be applied to both the order entry and broadcast feeds. Please note that reason codes already exist for self-trade prevention.

The enhanced reason codes will be available for testing in the GTE environment effective January 27th, 2023 and will be made available in our production environment effective May 1st, 2023.
