UpdateUpdate - New IPs and Ports for iLink Convenience Gateways  - June 25

† Denotes update to the article

Following the successful launch of Market Segment Gateway (MSGW), CME Group is introducing improvements to the Convenience Gateway (CGW) architecture. These changes include a hardware upgrade and are designed to reduce CGW IP management needs. There should be no performance change for iLink CGW sessions.

Effective Sunday, June 25 (trade date Monday, June 26), all CGW iLink sessions will use new IPs and ports. The new IP ranges will be available on the Client Systems Wiki by May 1. Your Global Account Manager will provide the new IP and port mapping for your sessions by the end of the month.

All CGW iLink sessions must migrate to the new IPs and Ports in order to access CME Globex markets. The current IPs will be disabled after the close on Friday, June 23. A connectivity mock will be held Saturday, June 24.

An optional migration on Sunday, June 18, is also available. Customer must register with their Global Account Manager no later than Friday, June 2, to migrate on June 18. A connectivity mock will be held for those migrating early on Saturday, June 17.

†CME Group is supporting telnet tests to the new CGW IPs and ports on Saturday, May 20, and Saturday, June 3, 9:00 – 10:30 am Central Time (CT). TCP connectivity will not be supported during the test. Contact your Global Account Manager with iLink session information by Thursday, May 18, to participate.

Please note: Later this year, CGW sessions will move to the MSGW-style Application Level Fault Tolerance, with an enforced primary gateway. To minimize impact when this change is implemented customers must use their designated Primary IPs and Ports upon launch.

Drop Copy is not impacted by this change, but some iLink source sessions may be moved to different target sessions. The IPs and ports for Drop Copy sessions will not change.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your Global Account Manager  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.

  • Japanese Yen
    • Futures: tag 6937=6J
    • Premium-Quoted Options: tag 6937=JPU, 1JY-5JY
    • Volatility-Quoted Options: tag 6937=VXJ, VJA-VJE
  • British Pound
    • Futures: tag 6937=6B

    • Volatility-Quoted Options: tag 6937=VXB, VBA-VBE
  • Swiss Franc
    • Futures: tag 6937=6S
    • Premium-Quoted Options: tag 6937=CHU, 1SF-5SF
    • Volatility-Quoted Options: tag 6937=VXS, VSA-VSE

    • Volatility-Quoted Options: tag 6937=VXT, VTA-VTE

The Swiss Franc, British Pound and Canadian Dollar markets will use a minimum quantity requirement of 10 lots to trigger a Triangulation execution. Japanese Yen and Euro FX will use 20 lot minimum for Triangulation execution. All Volatility-Quoted Options have a 20-lot minimum order size. These minimums are designed to mitigate the risk of a VQO or Triangulated execution without an assigned future.

In internal testing, triangulation functionality increased incremental feed bandwidth up to 25% on the CME Globex FX Options MDP 3.0 channels 315 and 321.

Globex Risk Management Enhancements: Inline Credit Controls - Q2 2017

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 new functionality will feature:

• 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>.
