Effective Date | 2006-10-24
Detailed specifications for connecting to CME® Globex® via iLink® to trade FXMarketSpace™ products are now available. The updated "FXMarketSpace Client Impact Document" is available at CME Clearing's special resource page for FXMarketSpace, at www.cme-ch.com/fxms. The specification itself is at www.cme-ch.com/fxms/FXMarketSpace_Client_Impact-Oct23.pdf. This is the document updated as of October 23, 2006. At launch in early 2007, FXMarketSpace will provide high-velocity trading of spot FX in major currencies on CME Globex, together with the safety of a full clearing guarantee provided by CME Clearing. The actual modifications to the iLink specification are very small. When routing orders to Globex, the instrument designation will specify spot trading for a particular currency pair, with the order quantity specified as the number of millions of the primary currency of the pair. The fill message returned back, will in addition to all normal values specify the exact value date, and the full notional amount of each currency of the pair. The main FXMarketSpace web page is at www.fxmarketspace.com. For more information contact CME Clearing at 312-207-2525 or CME Globex Account Management at (312) 634-8700
