CME Direct Software Enhancement Coming December 5

On Sunday, December 5 (trade date Monday, December 6), there will be a CME Direct software upgrade.

The software release includes:

• Directed Request for Quote Company Groups - Directed RFQ participants can create a group of users within the same CME Direct firm to act as a single recipient.  A DRFQ initiator will select the Company Group when sending a deal request, and all users within the Company Group will receive the request to participate throughout the negotiation.
• Directed Request for Quote User Profiles – Users can update profile information to improve searchability by interested counterparties.
• SOFR3 Grid Coloring – Users can manage SOFR3 term coloring in the trading grid.
• Globex Order Default – New users' preference will default to “good after logout” for Globex orders.
• Known issue fix for minimizing floating windows.

For detailed information on new features and enhancements, please see the CME Direct Release Notes.
