| In preparation for the upcoming March 16, 2008 (for trade date March 17, 2008)
launch of the new NYMEX emissions contracts listed in connection with the Green
Exchange initiative, the Exchange will be conducting a weekend end-to-end production
test and mock trading session.
The production test will take place Saturday, March 8, 2008, from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM (Noon) Eastern Time, with the products listed below on the following venues: CME Globex®, NYMEX ClearPort® Clearing and NYMEX Options Pit (NXPIT). This product listing includes products which will trade and clear in Euros. As this is the first listing of products not in USD for NYMEX, this production test will give an opportunity to test the non-USD functionality before the launch.
All interested Clearing Members, Member Firms and Traders are especially encouraged to participate in the March 8, 2008, test to allow proper time for any necessary registration or software adjustments that must be made before the March 16th (for March 17, 2008 Trade Date) launch. It is also important for Clearing Members to update accounts in RAV Manager to ensure these new products have permission to trade on NYMEX ClearPort® Clearing. The session will provide an opportunity to ensure proper connectivity and setup of trading software as well as offer the time to practice in a simulated trading environment. On-site attendance or off-site availability is highly encouraged for the March 8th test for all ISVs certified on CME Globex®. All Clearing Members who offer Globex® connectivity are reminded to have staff on-site or available off-site, and to have all systems available for production trading. All Members are reminded that they must connect to the CME Globex platform via certified ISVs and to have a valid login ID to NYMEX ClearPort® Clearing in order to trade, and connectivity must be established before the product test dates.
