Subject Improving the Balancing Process for Customer Positions in OTC Products
Notice Date 2008-05-27
Notice Number 08-105
Effective Date 2008-05-27
This advisory describes some simple enhancements to the FIXML Trade Register file which will make it easier for firms to balance positions resulting from customer non-reg activity in over-the-counter products. Currently, these products are the CBOT OTC ethanol contracts:  the forward-month swap, previous-month swap, three basis swap contracts, and the cash-settled option contracts (clearing codes 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, and 76).
