      User-Defined Instruments Enhancements

      Effective Sunday, October 2 (trade date Monday, October 3), the User-Defined Instrument (UDI) functionality on CME Globex will be enhanced to support the following:

      • Ability to create the first listed options strikes on an underlying future, following the Rulebook listing rules
      • Ability to create an options strike with a maturity greater than 9 years in the future
        • Strikes will be created using a 2byte maturity year in tag 55-Symbol in MDP 3.0 messages, and in tag 107-SecurityDesc in iLink and Drop Copy messaging
          • E.g., ONZ26 C3000

      UDI functionality allows users to dynamically create options strikes that co-exist with exchange-listed options strikes and allow the scope of tradeable instruments on CME Globex to expand without listing a larger group of options instruments.

      UDIs created real-time are disseminated with the Market Data Security Definition (tag 35-MsgType=d) message. Customers can submit quotes and orders against the UDI and also incorporate the UDI into User Defined Spreads.

      UDIs are:

      • Created on the CME Globex platform using CME Direct only.
      • Available for options on the following.
      User-Defined Instruments Enhancements
      Market Segment MDP 3.0 Channel Channel Label

      56 385 NYMEX Globex Metals, Softs, & Alternative Market Options
      56 387 NYMEX Globex Nat Gas & other Non-Crude Energy Options

      These enhancements will be available for customer testing in New Release on Thursday, September 8.

      Changing FX Futures Calendar Spread Type

      Effective Sunday, October 2 (trade date Monday, October 3), CME FX futures calendar spreads will be changed from spread type FX to SD. A complete list of impacted products is available here. †This change is being made because the SD Calendar type is anchored to the real-time outright books and uses the current market price for leg price allocation, instead of the prior day settlement.

      The SD Calendar is the simultaneous purchase (sale) of a deferred outright futures and sale (purchase) of a nearby outright futures within the same product, priced as the differential of the legs. Details on the spread type functionality are available in the †CME Group Client Systems Wiki. The spread type is defined in tag 762-SecuritySubType in the MDP 3.0 Security Definition message.

      This change will be available in New Release for customer testing on Tuesday, September 6.

      To facilitate this change, customers are asked to cancel all FX Futures Calendar Spread Good ‘Till Cancel (GTC) and Good ‘Till Date (GTD) orders after the close on Friday, September 30. After 16:00 CT on Friday, September 30, all remaining GT orders for these FX futures calendar spreads will be cancelled or deleted by the CME Global Command Center (GCC).

      These contracts are listed with and subject to the rules and regulations of CME.

      Market By Order Market Data

      Beginning in Q4 2016, to increase market transparency and customer choice, CME Group will offer Market by Order (MBO) information in-line with the current Market by Price (MBP) for CME Globex markets.

      A new MBO certification suite will be available in AutoCert+. Customer systems who choose to process MBO via CME Globex must complete this certification.

      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.
