Eurex: Change of Partition ID and Multicast Addresses for the Product FESQ

June 13

Eurex is making configuration changes for the product FESQ in preparation for the introduction of an additional Inter-Product Spread. The partition ID and the multicast addresses for dissemination of market data via the Enhanced Market Data Interface (EMDI) and the Enhanced Order Book Interface (EOBI) will be reassigned. 

The new partition ID and multicast addresses will become effective in the production environment from the business day 13 June 2022 onwards. The reference data containing all the respective changes will be provided following the start of the T7 trading system for the business day Monday, 13 June 2022.

Required Action:

Moving products from one partition to another may lead to a scenario where GTC/GTD orders entered and owned by one high-frequency session come to reside on two different partitions. As a high-frequency session login is always partition-specific (via a partition-specific gateway), the respective owning session needs to login to the new partition to manage orders for products which have been moved. To manage orders for products which have not been moved, the owning session needs to login to the old partition.

Participants may require additional high frequency sessions for the new partition and must therefore ensure that they order them via the Member Section of Deutsche Borse Group. New sessions ordered between Monday and Friday before 17:30 CE(S)T will become active on the next business day.

Eurex: Next Generation ETD Contracts

February 6, 2023

Eurex is aiming to introduce a more flexible set-up of Exchange Traded Derivatives (ETD) products by implementing an enhanced contract identification concept in February 2023 allowing more than one expiration per month on product level (sub-monthly contracts).

New features, changes and improvements:

  • Integration of Weekly Expiring Instruments on Product Level
  • Volatility Strategies in Single Stock Options
  • Market-On-Close Futures T+X (Basis Trading in Equity Index Futures)

Weekly contracts will follow the new format of DDMMYYYY (current format: MMYYY), and will be listed under the same Product symbol as the Monthly contracts. 

Example: OEB1, OEB2, OEB3, OEB4 will be listed under the OESB Product Symbol, and will be sequentially integrated. 

Monthly Option: OESB Sep22

Sub-monthly Options, Week 1-5): OESB Sep22-W1Fr, OESB Sep22-W2Fr, OESB Sep22-W3Fr, OESB Sep22-W4Fr, OESB Sep22-W5Fr

Market on Close T+X will be eligible for MSCI Futures. An example is the following:

On T, Client trades the calendar between the daily future (T+1) and the standard future. After the T+1 session, the index close of T+1 is published by MSCI. On T+2, the T+1 index close is entered as the Final Settlement Price for the daily future. At the end, the Client has paid basis + index close for the standard future. 

TT will support the sub-monthly contracts and T+X MSCI Futures in the UAT environment shortly after the T7 10.1 Upgrade on June 27, 2022. More details on the Production rollout plan will be confirmed after UAT support has been added.
