As a reminder, the CME and SIMEX will co-launch their new Mutual Offset System (MOS) after the AM cycle on Thursday, August 24, 2000. This system allows a CME or SIMEX firm to allocate an MOS trade and to have their respective party in Singapore or Chicago accept, reject or modify the trade. More detailed information about the system was provided in the SLG memo that was released on July 21, 2000. The purpose of this memo is to query the firms about two items related to the new MOS system; TREX MQM confirmation records and Auto-Acceptance of transactions.
