Trade At Marker Or Trade At Settlement Rules	Trading at settlement is available for spot (except on the last trading day), 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th months subject to the requirements of Rule 524.A. TAS Trading ceases daily at 2:30 PM ET. Products eligible for TAS pricing trade off of a "Base Price" of 0 to create a differential (plus or minus 10 ticks) versus settlement in the underlying product on a 1 to 1 basis. A trade done at the Base Price of 0 will correspond to a "traditional" TAS trade which will clear exactly at the final settlement price of the day. TAS trading terminates 2 business days prior to the contract month. TAM trading is analogous to our existing Trading at Settlement (TAS) trading wherein parties will be permitted to trade at a differential that represents a not-yet-known price. TAM trading will use a marker price, whereas TAS trading uses the Exchange-determined settlement price for the applicable contract month. As with TAS trading, parties will be able to enter TAM orders at the TAM price or at a differential between one and ten ticks higher or lower than the TAM price. Trading at marker is available for spot month on the last trading day.
