Notice No. 190 04/10/2006
NYMEX-Provided Front-End Trading Application and NYMEX-Provided RAV Risk Credit Filter for NYMEX ClearPort® Trading; Return to Prior Version of Exchange User Documentation
Previously, in two notices to members issued on March 23 (Notices to Members No. 06-163 and No. 06-167), the Exchange announced that certain services with respect to technology services for NYMEX ClearPort® Trading were no longer to be supported as of April 23, 2006 and also announced related conforming amendments to be made to the user documentation for NYMEX ClearPort® services. Late last week, though, the Exchange entered into a definitive technology services agreement with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) under which CME will shortly become the exclusive electronic trading services provider for NYMEX's energy futures and options contracts. Consequently, the purpose of this notice is to confirm that, in light of the agreement with the CME, the Exchange will continue to support until further notice the NYMEX-provided front-end trading application for users and, as a service to NYMEX Clearing Members, the NYMEX-provided risk allocation value ("RAV") risk credit filter for NYMEX ClearPort® Trading. Similarly, this notice is also confirming that the Exchange will return to the prior version of the user documentation that allows for use of these services. The prior version of the documentation will be returned to the NYMEX website shortly.
