Critical Updates
Balanced Strip Butterfly Spread on CME Globex - This Week
Effective this 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.
The contracts are listed with, and subject to, the rules and regulations of CME.
New3DES Cipher Deprecation for all Customer VPN Connections - August 2024
By the end of August 2024, as part of continued security measures and best practices to deprecate legacy security protocols and ciphers, CME Group will no longer support 3DES cipher. Please plan to move off of 3DES to keep the ability to connect via VPN.
To continue using IKEv1, please choose to move to another supported policy such as AES256+SHA256. This is the simplest and recommended method for existing connections.
If you wish to migrate your VPN to IKEv2, please contact Global Account Management to arrange a network engineering session for implementation.
For reference, please see supported VPN settings.Enabling User Defined Spreads on Specific NYMEX Energy Futures - September 15
Effective Sunday, September 15 (trade date Monday, September 16), pending completion of all regulatory review periods, UDS (User Defined Spread) will be enabled for specific NYMEX energy futures for trading on CME Globex.
Futures which share all of the following attributes are eligible for UDS:
- UnitOfMeasure (MDP 3.0: Tag 996)
- UnitOfMeasureQty (MDP 3.0: Tag 1147)
- SecurityGroup (MDP 3.0: Tag 1151)
Please review the client impact assessment for the list of products, technical specifications, and examples.
This change will be made available in New Release on Sunday, July 28.
These contracts are listed with, and subject to, the rules and regulations of NYMEX.

Please Note: CME Group will continue to support the existing MQP types - Traded Quantity (Z) † and Delta (D).

| Traded Quantity (Z) | Supported | Supported |
| New Quote Fill (X) | Supported | Decommissioned |

NewMDP 3.0 SBE Schema Update - Starting October 13
To support future enhancements for futures and options markets, including CME Spot+, on CME Globex, the MDP 3.0 SBE core schema will be updated to version 13 starting Sunday, October 13, 2024 (trade date Monday, October 14, 2024), and concluding Sunday, January 12, 2025 (trade date Monday, January 13, 2025).
Futures and options channels on CME Globex are currently utilizing core schema version 9. To ease customer development efforts, the new SBE schema files will support template extension for MDP 3.0 messages. For client systems that do not support template extension, the schema update is not backward compatible, and the MDP 3.0 messages sent from CME Globex cannot be decoded.
In conjunction with the core schema futures and options update, the futures and options markets will leverage a new separate schema dedicated to TCP recovery for UDP effective Sunday, November 24, 2024.
Please review the client impact assessment for full technical details and launch schedule.

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
