This notice is to inform you that for Side-by-Side products (traded both on RTH and GLOBEX® at the same time) the ticker symbols for the options products traded on GLOBEX are the same as the RTH futures symbol.   This is only the case for distributors receiving market data via channel four (GLOBEX depth data – RLC format) of the MDN.  It is different for channel two (GLOBEX top of book data – ITC 2.1 format) of the MDN.  The options products traded on GLOBEX use the same symbol as the RTH options symbols.  This is not a new concept, but something a few distributors have asked about recently.  Consequently, we want to be sure that you are aware of these differences.

If you have any questions on which products trade side-by-side, please let us know.  They are primarily currency and interest rate contracts.

If you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact Marilee Radecki at 312.930.8193 or email mradecki@cme.com or Lisa Amato at 312.338.2654 or email lamato@cme.com.

Thank you.
