- New iLink and Drop Copy message tags
The Client Impact Assessment provides more detailed process and messaging information.
CME Group will offer a CME Globex API Secure Login mock trading session on Saturday, April 7 for iLink and Drop Copy. This mock trading session will offer customers the opportunity to interact with the system and experience the new logon procedure in the CME Globex production environment. You will need to reset your Message Sequence number to “1” for the mock trading session and again prior to the beginning of week logon. If you experience any issues during the mock, please contact the Global Command Center (GCC) for assistance at +1 800 438 8616.

Price Precision Extension - 2018
CME Group is implementing end-to-end technology changes to support increased price granularity. Currently, CME Group systems support a maximum of 7 decimals. With this initiative, products with up to 9 decimals may be listed and traded. In Q4 2018, pending regulatory approval, the 2 Year Treasury Note futures and spreads will move from 7 decimals to 8 to support trading at 1/8 of 1/32.
Customers are encouraged to move to support 9 decimals now; but there are no plans to list a product that uses the 9th decimal at this time.
Starting Sunday, August 12, the price precision extension rollout will begin with MDP 3.0.
