New Functionality

 

UpdateUpdate - Self-Match Prevention Enhancements - October 1

† Denotes update to the article

The Self-Match Prevention (SMP) enhancements launch scheduled for Sunday, September 24, has been rescheduled to Sunday, October 1 (trade date Monday, October 2). 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=8) message including tag 58=<Reject Reason>. All Good 'Till Cancel (GTC) and Good 'Till Date (GTD) orders with unregistered SMP IDs must also be updated to use a registered SMP ID by the close on the Friday before launch. Any remaining GT orders with unregistered SMP IDs will be eliminated at Sunday start-up on launch weekend.

The Firm Administrator Dashboard interface will continue to be used to request new SMP IDs but will be enhanced to allow existing SMP IDs to be modified to support additional Globex Firm IDs.

† To opt into Self-Match Prevention functionality, executing firms must submit orders and mass Quotes with a registered SMP ID in tag 7928-SelfMatchPreventionID.

Starting Sunday, September 10, customers may register one or more CME Globex Firm IDs to their SMP IDs via the Firm Administrator Dashboard. Before Sunday, September 30, SMP will continue to function within a single Globex Firm ID as it does today.

Detailed information, including the launch schedule, is available in the Client Impact Assessment.

The new SMP enhancements are currently available for customer testing in New Release. Customer certification is not required, but CME Group strongly recommends all system providers test these changes thoroughly in New Release.

Please note: Clients planning to test the SMP enhancements in New Release must contact their Global Account Manager to receive new SMP IDs, which will be activated after the New Release daily maintenance period (16:00 to 16:45 Central Time).

CME Group will offer a mock trading session on Saturday, September 30, for customers test their Self-Match Prevention configuration in the CME Globex production environment. Customers are required to †register to participate in the mock trading session. Please review the mock trading session script for additional information.
