Please be advised that effective Monday, October 15th, Production FEC+ will be enhanced to provide full anonymity for all ClearPort and ITP trades, including CDS and OTCFX trades.
Currently in FEC+, the Opposite Firm field will display as blank for ClearPort and ITP trades unless the CMF is on both sides of the trade. With the full anonymity enhancement, the Opposite Firm field will always display as blank.
This enhancement only applies to FEC+. Manually-entered transactions within FEC Classic, such as EFP/R/S, Blocks and Transfers will continue to display the opposite firm in all cases.
Testing in the New Release environment for this change will be available beginning Thursday, October 4th.
Please contact the CME Client Services Team with any questions.
