      Critical System Updates

      Indicative Opening Enhancements

      Effective this Sunday, March 26 (trade date Monday, March 27), CME Group will continue 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.

      Please contact your Global Account Manager with any questions or concerns in the U.S. at +1 312 634 8700, in Europe at +44 203 379 3754 or in Asia at +65 6593 5505 for additional information.

      New Functionality

      Globex Risk Management Enhancements: Inline Credit Controls

      In Q2 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, 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>
      Position Limit Violation for Account: <Account>, Position Increase: <position> makes position above the BUY Position Limit: <Limit> by amount: <Amount>. Limit set by EF for Product Code: <Product Code>
      Account Policy Violation Pre-Trade Registration Violation: Account: <Account> is not Registered for this Executing Firm

      UDS Covereds Policy Violation Pre-Trade Registration Violation: Account: <Account> is not Registered to Trade UDS Covereds

      Update - Mass Quote Cancel Enhancements

      † Denotes update to the article

      Effective Sunday, May 7 (trade date Monday, May 8), in addition to the current Mass Quote Cancel functionality, CME Group will offer customers the ability to cancel their Mass Quotes based on the Quote Set ID.

      Cancel by Quote Set enhancements support cancellation of quote sets with a single Quote Cancel (tag 35-MsgType=Z) message as follows:

      • Cancel a designated quote set by Quote Set ID; client system provided unique identifier.
      • Cancel a side (Buy/Sell) of the designated Quote Set ID.

      The client impact assessment provides functionality and messaging information.

      Certification for Cancel by Quote Set is not mandatory for client systems already certified for the Mass Quote test suite.

      These enhancements are currently available in New Release for customer testing.

      †Please note: Mass Quotes submitted with a Quote Set ID value greater than 3 characters in length will be rejected. CME Globex will send a Business Level Reject (tag 35-MsgType=j) message including tag 58=<Reject Reason>.

        • Tag 731 is published on the Incremental Refresh, Security Definition and Snapshot Full Refresh messages (35=X, d or W)
          • †Please Note: Theoretical settlement prices are only published on Security Definition (tag 35-MsgType=d) messages for instruments with no Open Interest or Volume. Incremental Refresh settlement messages are not distributed for these instruments.
