USAGE RULES

ADEL, Late delivery date is used for pool trades that result from the original TBA's. (the original TBA's would be offset by an opposite transaction and replaced by buys or sells of individual pools). It is a date greater than the settlement date stated in the trade, for pools designed as settling late.

In addition to the settlement date (ISO 15022 mandatory), trade date is one of the 10 common elements recommended by SMPG for equities and fixed income settlement instructions.
