What is the definition of a “cabinet” order for purposes of the “orderType” field for Exchange-listed options in the CAT Reporting Technical Specifications for Industry Members?

The “orderType” field when used in reference to Exchange-listed options in the CAT Reporting Technical Specifications for Industry Members provides that the type of order being submitted may be, for example, a market, limit or cabinet order. For purposes of the “orderType” field, a “cabinet” order designation would be applicable for an order that is represented on/routed to a given Options Exchange as a cabinet order under the rules of that Options Exchange. See, for example, Cboe Options Rule 5.85(h) for cabinet orders represented on/routed to the Cboe Options Exchange.
