Connectivity Choices for the Electronic Submission of Orders to NYMEX including e-miNY(sm) Futures Contracts on NYMEX ClearPort(sm) Trading
Please be advised that in order to minimize the operational impact of the migration of the NYMEX energy e-miNYsm futures contracts, both natural gas and crude oil, from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's GLOBEX® to NYMEX ClearPortsm Trading, the following communications connectivity choices are available for immediate planning:
  • VPN over the Internet
  • Serial Leased Line
  • Radianz (available Q3 '05)
This notice encourages firms to start planning NOW to connect to the NYMEX FIX server before our launch date of Monday, June 20th, 2005. Each firm has the choice to a) develop to the NYMEX Electronic Order Network (NEON) FIX 4.2 API within its own proprietary software or b) select from one of the following NYMEX certified releases of ISV trading software:
  • GL Trade GLWin
  • PATS Systems' J-Trader
  • Rolfe and Nolan's RAN Order
Additionally, there are several more ISVs who are actively developing to the NYMEX API and who expect to deliver certified versions in the near future. The API makes it possible to deliver orders electronically to any of the NYMEX markets.

If you require additional information or have any questions, please contact NYMEX Customer Service at 800-438-8616.
Should you have any questions or require any further information, please contact exchangeinfo@nymex.com
