Balanced Strip Butterfly Spread on CME Globex - July 28

Effective Sunday, July 28 (trade date, Monday July 29), a new exchange-defined Balanced Strip Butterfly futures spread will be made available for trading on CME Globex. The new spread will utilize a new strategy type (BB).

The Balanced Strip Butterfly spread will represent a differential spread composed of three legs having equidistant expirations—the near and deferred expirations of a Balanced Strip Butterfly on one side of the spread, and twice the quantity of the middle expirations of a pack on the other side (1:2:1).

Please review the client impact assessment for detailed spread construction and pricing examples.

The spread is currently available for customer testing in New Release.

Events and Announcements

Revised CME Globex Messaging Efficiency Program and Resources - October 1

Effective trade date Tuesday, October 1, CME Group will revise the CME Globex Messaging Efficiency Program (Program) to more effectively target messaging that can negatively impact system performance, impair efficient access to the market, and create unnecessary infrastructure and processing costs for market participants.

The existing Program will remain in effect through Monday, September 30, and will be retired when the revised Program is implemented on Tuesday, October 1.

The following changes will be made under the revised Program:

• Message scoring will be calculated and applied for the entire CME Globex trading session versus the current hours between 7:00 a.m. – 3:15 p.m. Central Time (CT)
• Previously excluded instruments and back months will be included and scored at a reduced weighting

To account for these changes, messaging tiers will be expanded.

To assist potentially impacted firms on a T+1 basis following the conclusion of trade date July 1, CME Group will notify assigned messaging contacts of any instances where product group benchmarks have been exceeded using the revised Program scoring methodology.

For more information, view CME Globex Messaging Efficiency Program Resources such as:

• Current Program and Benchmarks
• Upcoming Program and Benchmarks
• CME Globex Messaging Efficiency Program Holiday Calendar
• CME Globex Messaging Policy
