      Critical System Updates

      Market By Order Market Data

      Effective this Sunday, January 8 (trade date Monday, January 9), to increase market transparency and customer choice, CME Group will continue the rollout Market by Order (MBO) for CME Globex markets.

      Market Data Platform with MBO will feature:

      • Ability to view individual queue position and size of individual orders at a price while remaining anonymous
      • Existing channels enhanced to provide both MBO and MBP data on a single feed
      • CME Direct support
      • Exchange and asset class roll out model

      The client impact assessment provides functionality and messaging information.

      MBO is now available in New Release for customer testing. Please view the updated MBO rollout schedule for production.

      With the introduction of MBO overall incremental feed bandwidth is expected to increase 30-40%. During peak times the number of incremental feed packets per millisecond may increase up to 40-50%.

      The MBO certification suite is now available in AutoCert+ for customer testing. Customer systems who choose to process MBO via CME Globex must complete this certification.

      At the close of business this Friday, January 6, Market by Order (MBO) functionality will be disabled in New Release for CME Globex FX Futures and CME Globex FX Options on MDP 3.0 channel 314 and 315 to facilitate customer testing of Triangulation.

      Indicative Opening Enhancements

      Effective this Sunday, January 8 (trade date Monday, January 9), CME Group continues implementing the enhancement to Indicative Opening behavior to increase transparency and provide market participants with Indicative Opening Quantity. With this enhancement, a new MDP3 Indicative Opening Quantity (IOQ) statistic will be sent with the Indicative Opening Price (IOP). The tag will represent the probable aggregated quantity of all orders executed during the opening. The IOQ will include max show and stop order quantity.

      Along with this change, the logic for calculating the book quantity during the pre-open and reserve states will also be updated.

      The client impact assessment provides dates, functionality and messaging information.

      Indicative Opening Enhancements is now available in New Release for customer testing. Please view the Indicative Opening Enhancements Rollout Schedule for production launch dates.

      Effective this Sunday, January 8 (trade date Monday, January 9), Henry Hub Combo HB:IN (MDP3 tag 6937-Asset=HB) for the two nearest expiration months will listed on CME Globex.  This strategy utilizes a new strategy type (tag 762-SecuritySubType=BC) for a Buy-Buy transaction between two commodities of the same maturity.

      Henry Hub Combo HB:IN Strategy
      Product MDP 3.0:
      tag 6937-Asset      		 iLink: tag 55-Symbol
      MDP 3.0 tag 1151 - Security Group      		 Tag 762- SecuritySubType
      Henry Hub Natural Gas (Platts FERC) Basis Futures (HB) vs. Henry Hub Natural Gas (Platts Gas Daily/Platts IFERC) Index Futures (IN) HB FD BC (Buy-Buy Strategy)

      The BC strategy is the simultaneous purchase (sale) of a monthly Henry Hub Natural Gas (Platts FERC) Basis futures (MDP3 tag 6937=HB) and Henry Hub Natural Gas (Platts Gas Daily/Platts IFERC) Index futures (MDP3 tag 6937=IN). Both legs must have the same maturity.

      This strategy is available as a futures Exchange-Defined Spread only.

      The BC strategy has:

      • Two products
        • Front leg monthly Henry Hub Natural Gas (Platts FERC) Basis futures
        • Back leg Henry Hub Natural Gas (Platts Gas Daily/Platts IFERC) Index futures
      • Two legs
      • Quantity/side ratio +1:+1

      Pricing

      • The BC Strategy Trade price is the summation of the outright future legs
      • Leg price assignment:
      • Determine anchor outright futures leg
        • Leg with most recent trade, best bid/best offer, or Indicative Opening Price.
      • Subtract the anchor outright futures leg from the BC Strategy Trade Price and assign remainder to non-anchor outright futures leg.

      Pricing Example
      HB-IN: HB-IN F7 trades at 4

      • HBF7 Leg1 has the most recent trade price at 1 and is designated the anchor
      • INF7 Leg2 = 3 (HB-IN Price – Leg1 Price)

      This strategy is currently available for customer testing in New Release.

      Globex Risk Management Enhancements: Inline Credit Controls

      In Q1 2017, in addition to existing risk management controls, CME Group will offer optional, more granular pre-trade risk management capability through the In-Line Credit Control (ICC) tool.

      The ICC tool allows Clearing Member Firms and Executing Firms to set daily position limits for CME Globex orders, per product, at the account level through Account Manager.

      The new functionality will feature:

      • Daily quantity position limits applied per product at the account level.
      • Positions reset to flat at the end of the day. Good 'Til Cancel (GTC) and Good 'Til Date (GTD) orders will roll-over to be calculated in the next day’s working orders.
      • No latency differential; all orders are subject to the same ICC processing.
      • Both Clearing Member Firm and Executing Firm Risk Admins can register accounts and set limits.
        • The most restrictive limit applies.
        • Clearing Member Firm and Executing Firm Risk Admins can view each other's account limits.
        • Clearing Member Firms and Executing Firms cannot change the other's limit.
      • Email alerts can be set up when pre-set threshold level breaches occur (for example, at 80%).

      See more on Viewing and Managing Inline Credit Control Limits and Configuring Alerts and Policies for Inline Credit Controls.

      For registered client systems, a new or cancel/replace order that violates specified position limits will be rejected. CME Globex will send a Session Level Reject (tag 35-MsgType=3) message including tag 58=<Reject Reason>.

      Reject Reason Tag 58-Text
      Position Limit Violation Position Limit Violation for Account: <Account>, Position Increase: <position> makes position above the BUY Position Limit: <Limit> by amount: <Amount>. Limit set by CMF for Product Code: <Product Code>
