OATS Reportable Securities File Retrieval Instructions

As of August 1, 2016 firms will no longer be able to download the SOD and EOD files via FTP. Rather, the Start of Day (SOD) and End of Day (EOD) reportable securities lists may be downloaded either by typing the URL(s) for the associated list in one of the supported browsers or via command line. Firms may use any standard transfer utility like CURL to download the two lists. Listed below is the specific sequence of commands required to retrieve the two lists using CURL for WINDOWS utility when executed from a WINDOWS platform.
