Basic Test Process
Firms can access the Front End Clearing (FEC) application from the main CME Portal page under the "Firms Quality Assurance" Section using the Front End Clearing - E2E link. 

The 3 test cycles will be similar to each other, the primary difference being the roll of positions from one day to the next.  The core test process will consist of:

• Entering CME SLEDS trades
• Receiving TREX confirm messages for these trades
• Performing give-up processing
• Sending change messages, receiving change confirm messages for CME SLEDS
• Receiving Trade Register reports and datafiles
