UpdateUpdate - Elimination of Redundant Settlements- June 18

† Denotes update to the article

Starting Sunday, June 18 (trade date Monday, June 19), through Friday, July 7, to optimize market data bandwidth utilization, MDP 3.0 is phasing in a change to publish fewer redundant preliminary settlement Incremental Refresh (tag 35-MsgType=X) messages. †With this change, customers will continue to receive the full set of preliminary settlements, but will see a reduction in a number of duplicated messages after the initial preliminary set is published. Preliminary settlements are typically sent (Monday through Friday) per product after each market has closed.  More information on timelines for statistical information can be found here. In case of any missed information, clients should follow standard MDP 3.0 Recovery models.

Order Priority Changes for Execution on CME FX Options - June 18

To simplify the matching algorithm in FX options, effective Sunday, June 18 (trade date Monday, June 19), CME Group will combine volatility-quoted implied orders and premium-quoted implied orders into a single priority algorithm. This will be effective in the following currency pairs for which triangulation has been enabled:

• Australian Dollar
• British Pound
• Canadian Dollar
• EuroFX
• Japanese Yen
• Swiss Franc

With this change, CME Globex will use an Aggregated Price-Time Priority to determine priority in both premium-quoted options (PQO) and volatility-quoted options (VQO) order books. As a result, an aggressing options order will first match against customer orders or implied orders based on the Aggregated Price-Time, as detailed below.

Aggregated Price-Time Priority: Matching Sequence:

Within the PQO order book, at a given price level, if there are both customer orders and implied orders (i.e. RFQ-triggered implied orders and Triangulation implied orders), then an aggressing PQO order will match against those orders in the following sequence:

• PQO customer orders, PQO implied orders, or PQO Triangulation implied orders based on the Aggregated Price-Time.

Within the VQO order book, at a given price level, if there are both customer orders and Triangulation implied orders, then an aggressing VQO order will match against those orders in the following sequence:

• VQO customer orders or VQO Triangulation implied orders based on the Aggregated Price-Time.

These changes will be available in New Release for customer testing on Tuesday, May 30.

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 are currently available on the Client Systems Wiki. 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. †Please provide your Global Account Manager with iLink sessions you will be testing migrate on this date by Friday, June 2. A connectivity mock will be held for those migrating early on Saturday, June 17.

CME Group is supporting a telnet test to the new primary CGW IPs and ports on Saturday, June 3, 9:00 – 10:30 am Central Time (CT). Backup CGWs will not be available. Login, application and administrative messaging will not be supported during the test. TCP connectivity will be supported during the test. †Please provide your Global Account Manager with iLink sessions you will be testing by Friday, June 2, to participate. If you experience any issues during the mock trading session, please dial into the conference bridge.

†Conference Bridge Details:
US toll free: 1 877 979 3898
International: 011 404 410 4584
Access Code: 6485475

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.

New Functionality

Triangulation Functionality for Additional CME FX Products - June 18

Triangulation functionality will be enabled for the following CME FX products:

• Sunday, June 18 (trade date Monday, June 19)
  • Canadian Dollar
    • Futures: tag 6937=6C
    • Premium-Quoted Options: tag 6937=CAU, 1CD-5CD
    • Volatility-Quoted Options: tag 6937=VXC, VCA-VCE
  • Euro FX
    • Futures: tag 6937=6E
    • Premium-Quoted Options: tag 6937=EUU, 1EU-5EU
    • 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.

Triangulation functionality for the Japanese Yen, British Pound, Swiss France Canadian Dollar and Euro FX is currently available for customer testing.

UpdateUpdate - Globex Risk Management Enhancements: Inline Credit Controls - July 2017

† Denotes update to the article

In †July 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%).

†Please note: With the introduction of ICC, clients may see minor changes in order entry round trip times (RTT) during large market events.

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>.
