Due to popular demand, we will offer two optional cycles of SLEDS E2E testing next week.   Firms are not required to participate, but should take this opportunity to exercise any SLEDS related functionality that they feel was not sufficiently tested during the mandatory SLEDS E2E cycles.  After Cycle 5 on Friday, January 30^th, 2004, we will publish a small pit entry script for firms to use if they wish.  Firms may use these scripts or make up their own trades.  There will be no CME or non-SLEDS trades included in this first week of testing.

Please view the attached for more information.

Thank you.
