-
0 = No preceding order in book as transaction price set within average spread of a liquid instrument
Per MiFIR Article 4(1)(b)(i) the obligation to place a public order can be waived for transactions of liquid instruments on "systems that formalise negotiated transactions which are made within the current volume weighted spread reflected on the order book or the quotes of the market makers of the trading venue operating that system, subject to the conditions set out in Article 5" of MiFIR on volume caps. "Liquid markets" as per MiFIR Article 2(17)(b) are assessed by the regulator for the purposes of MiFIR Articles 4, 5 and 14. For ESMA RTS 1, RTS 6 and RTS 22 this is the waiver "NLIQ" flag.
-
1 = No preceding order in book as transaction price depends on system-set reference price for an illiquid instrument

For ESMA RTS 1, this is the "OILQ" flag.

For ESMA RTS 1, RTS 6 and RTS 22 this is the waiver flag "RFPT".
-
4 = No public price quoted as instrument is illiquid
According to MiFIR Article 4(1)(b)(ii) and Article 14(1) the obligation to publish the quote prior to closing the trade may be waived if it was made in an illiquid instrument.

In the context of ESMA, as per MiFIR Article 4(1)(c) and Article 14(2), the systematic internaliser was not obliged to quote prior to closing the trade as the trade was above the standard market size. In accordance to MiFIR Article 9(1)(b) and Article 18(10), market operators, investment firms and systematic internalisers may be waived, in accordance to guidance from the Competent Authorities, from making public prices for derivative instruments which are above a side specific to the instrument. For ESMA RTS 1, RTS 2, RTS 6 and RTS 22 this is the waiver flag "SIZE".
-
6 = Deferral due to "Large in Scale"
Per MiFID Article 14, publication deferral is permitted if the transaction is large in scale compared to a standard market size, as set in RTS 1/Annex II (thresholds for "large in scale") and RTS 2/Annex III ("LIS and SSTI thresholds"). For ESMA RTS 1 and RTS 2, this is the "LRGS" flag.

-
8 = Deferral due to "Size Specific"
Per MiFIR Article 11, publication deferral is permitted if the transaction is greater than the stipulated 'Size Specific to the financial instrument' threshold. For ESMA RTS 2, this is the "SIZE" flag.
-
9 = No public price and/or size quoted as transaction is "large in scale"

-
10 = No public price and/or size quoted due to order being hidden
In the context of ESMA, as per MiFIR Article 4(1)(d) and Article 9(1)(a), a transaction arising from an order that was not fully pre-trade transparent due to all or part of it being held in a trading venue order management facility, such as a reserve order.
-
11 = Exempted due to securities financing transaction
Per ESMA RTS 22, Annex I, Table 2, Field 65: a transaction which "falls within the scope of activity but is exempted from reporting under Securities Financing Transaction Regulation".

-

Incomplete report due to intra–firm order filled from firm’s proprietary account.
-
16 = Reported outside of reporting hours
In the context of ESMA, trades published after the trade reporting facility being used (e.g. APA for trades brought onto a trading venue) closes, will be reported the following business day and not flagged as deferred (as the MiFID deferral regime is not applicable). This value distinguishes these types of trades from trades executed (and published) on the same business day. It is recommended that this value be set by the trade reporting facility, e.g. APAs, (as opposed to publishing investment firms) to ensure the most accurate use of this value.
-
17 = No public price quoted due to usage of a pre-trade transparency waiver
Per FCA policy statement PS23/4, this is the "NETW" flag for negotiated trades in accordance to MiFIR Article 4(1)(b).
