This release builds on the Production Launch of TMS for the Copper and Aluminum products, which took place on Monday, February 12, 2007.
Business for Gold products will continue to be conducted on the existing OLTE system. A future notice will be released to inform you of the next phase of the NYMEX ClearPort® TMS launch.
Registration As a reminder, all Traders and their clerks must register in order to obtain a user name and password for TMS.
For registration assistance, or for any other questions or concerns:
- Traders should contact Floor Operations at the Trades Processing Area
- Clerks should contact the Training & Development (299-2450) to obtain mandatory training and to complete a Broker Clerk Registration form.
On Saturday, March 3, 2007, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 Noon, a Production system set-up test will be held in preparation for the Monday launch. This Production system set-up test will be open for Clerk participation.
Because Trader Clerks who participated in the previous weekend set-up test for the Copper/Aluminum launch found the testing very helpful in easing the transition on the first few days of business, it is strongly recommended that Clerks for the Silver launch participate on Saturday, March 3, 2007, with copies of actual trading cards so they can practice trade entry in a production environment without the pressures and time constraints of the live trading day.
