This coming week, we will run the final three cycles of SLEDS E2E testing.   All firms will be required to enter a minimum number of scripted CBOT Pit SLEDS and submit leg price changes for two of those SLEDS trades after they have posted to Clearing.  There will be no CME or non-SLEDS trades included in this first week of testing.

Firms will receive three e-cbot SLEDS during each of the three remaining cycles.  Firms will also be able to enter in their own orders into the Simulation LIFFE/CONNECT environment.  Matched e-cbot orders will post to the CME Clearing System and confirms will be routed to the firm’s back office systems

Firms who requested Handheld Trades (HHT) and Order Routing (Electronic Clerk) trades on their SLEDS E2E Testing Set-up questionnaire will receive 5 of each of these type of trades as well.

Firms can access the CME Front End Clearing application for SLEDS E2E testing by using the Front End Clearing – E2E link under the Firms Quality Assurance Environment section of the CME Portal.

Please view the attached testing schedule.

Thank you.
