What is a Firm Order Report (FORE)?
A Firm Order Report (FORE) is a file containing one or more Reportable Order Event records, also known as reportable order events (ROEs) that is sent by an Order Sending Organization (OSO) or reporting firm to OATS. A FORE may contain many different types of ROEs, such as any combination of New Order Reports, Routing Reports, and Execution Reports, but all ROEs in a FORE must be for the same order receiving firm. If one OSO transmits order data for several firms, it must send a different FORE file for each firm.
