      CME FX Displayed Quantity Decommission

      Effective close of business Friday, August 19, the Displayed Quantity order qualifier will be decommissioned for FX futures and options markets to support the upcoming Volatility-Quoted Options initiatives on CME Globex. Only CME FX products are affected by this change.

      To facilitate this change, customers are asked to cancel all FX Good ‘Till Cancel (GTC) and Good ‘Till Date (GTD) orders utilizing the Displayed Quantity after the close on Friday, August 19. After 16:00 CT on Friday, August 19, all remaining GT orders for these FX futures and options will be cancelled or deleted by the CME Global Command Center (GCC).

      Volatility-Quoted Options

      Effective Sunday, October 23, 2016 (trade date Monday, October 24), volatility-quoted options are scheduled to launch on six FX options products: Euro FX, British pound, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollar, Swiss Franc and Australian Dollar in both American-style and new European-style options expiring at 2 p.m. Central Time (CT).

      To ensure customers can access, trade and process the market data for the new volatility-quoted FX options, CME Group will hold a mock trading session on Saturday, October 22.

Additional information on the mock trading session will be available in future CME Globex notices.
