      Critical System Updates

      New - Reminder: User-Defined Spreads Deletions

      As a reminder, CME Globex may delete expired UDS and UDI mid-week to create additional UDS capacity. A Security Definition message (tag 35=d) with tag 980-SecurityUpdateAction=D is sent when the instrument is deleted. A tag 48-SecurityID value from a deleted instrument can be re-assigned to a newly listed instrument same week. CME Group strongly recommends that clients process Delete Security Definition messages to remove the deleted instrument from their systems and ensure no conflict in the tag 48 associations.

      User-Defined Instruments Enhancements

      Effective this 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

      Changing FX Futures Calendar Spread Type

      Effective this 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 is currently available in New Release for customer testing .

      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.

      New Functionality

      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).

      Volatility-quoted options is a functionality that allows CME Globex clients to trade an option contract with an 'auto-hedge' into the corresponding quarterly month of the underlying futures contract. When a volatility trade occurs, CME will use a standardized option pricing model to create a delta neutral combination of premium options and futures, and exchange these between the buyer and seller.

      All of the volatility-quoted options products are currently available in the New Release for customer testing.

      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. All customers and trading system providers who plan to support these products are strongly encouraged to participate. Additional information on the mock trading session will be available in future CME Globex notices.

      More information on these new products and the associated messaging and functionality enhancements is available in the Volatility-Quoted Options Client Impact Assessment.

      More information on Top allocation and CME Globex matching algorithms is available in the Client Systems Wiki. Details on the matching algorithm for each CME Globex market are available in the CME Globex Product Reference Sheet.

      This change will be available in New Release for customer testing on Monday, October 3.

      Bitcoin Pricing Data via Streamlined SBE

      In Q4 2016, CME Group and Crypto Facilities (CF) will launch two bitcoin pricing products designed to give clients a reliable reference rate price source for digital assets.

      The pricing data will be disseminated via a streamlined Simple Binary Encoding (SBE) market data feed. This feed will publish the following Bitcoin standardized reference rate and real time index pricing data:

      • CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate (BRR) provides a final settlement price in U.S. dollars shortly after 4 p.m. London time each day.
      • CME CF Bitcoin Real Time Index (BRTI) allows users real-time access to bitcoin prices.

      The client impact assessment provides functionality and messaging information.

      A new certification test suite in AutoCert+ for Bitcoin pricing data via streamlined SBE will be available on Monday, October 24.

      Please note: Certification for streamlined CME CF Bitcoin pricing data is not mandatory for client systems already certified for streamlined SBE Equity Indices.

      A new SBE config.xml file for production will be available from CME Group FTP site in Q4 2016. The production channels for Bitcoin pricing data will be available for customers and broadcasting heartbeats in Q4 2016.

      Streamlined SBE for Bitcoin pricing data will be available in New Release for customer testing on Monday, October 3.
