UpdateUpdate - Globex Risk Management Enhancements: Inline Credit Controls - July 23

† Denotes update to the article

†Starting Sunday, July 23, 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.

†Risk Administrators are encouraged to register and set limits in all products starting Sunday, July 23. Please review the complete ICC enforcement schedule.

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.

Initially, ICC processing for accounts approaching their pre-set threshold level, In-Flight Mitigation(IFM) enabled orders may temporarily violate account limits resulting in a reject. See scenario here. Future phases of ICC will accommodate In-Flight Mitigation and eliminate the temporary account limit violation scenario.

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>

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

This new functionality is currently available for customer testing in New Release.

Please contact your Global Account Manager with any questions on onboarding and testing In-line Credit Controls functionality in New Release 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.

Self-Match Prevention Enhancements - September 24

Effective Sunday, September 24 (trade date Monday, September 25) CME Group will launch enhancements to CME Globex Self-Match Prevention (SMP). SMP is optional functionality that allows market participants to prevent the matching of orders for accounts with common ownership if both the buy and sell orders contain the same SMP ID and Globex Firm ID.

With these enhancements, iLink customers will have the ability to configure SMP functionality across multiple Globex Firm IDs within or across clearing firms. Upon this release, orders submitted with unregistered SMP IDs will be rejected. CME Globex will send a Session Level Reject (tag 35-MsgType=3) message including tag 58=<Reject Reason>.
