UPDATE: Enhancements to the NYMEX Cleared Trades API
In an effort to accommodate customer requests, the Exchange has made enhancements to the NYMEX Cleared Trades application programming interface (API). The enhancements are now set to launch on Monday, January 16, 2005 for trade date Tuesday, January 17, 2005.

Due to the extensible nature of any XML-based API, these changes do not require the users of the API to make immediate changes in their systems. However, we encourage the users to test their existing production systems with the new version of NYMEX Cleared Trades API in our certification environment.

Clients may begin testing in the Exchange's certification environment with the noted changes. To review the revised implementation guide please logon to Developer's Dashboard at https://www.services.nymex.com/ddash/.

The enhancements will include the following additions to the FIXML 4.4 format:
