ICE: Mandatory Migration from LMA to IM-SMA
December 31
ICE has started the process of phasing out Locally Managed Accounts (LMAs) by introducing a new set-up feature, called Independently-Managed System Managed Account (IM SMA) in the ICE Clearing Admin tool which is designed to replace LMAs. The timeline for the migration has been set to year-end.
The new ICE IM SMA feature is available within the SMA functionality and is replacing the legacy LMA, which will be phased out completely by December 31, 2022. The new IM SMA feature offers Clearing Members more control over accounts than is available with LMA.
With IM SMA set-up, it is mandatory to send in tags 439 (Clearing Firm) and 440 (Clearing Account) to the exchange. The customer could continue using tag 9207 (CustAccountRefID field) as an optional field to distinguish the customer business. ICE is targeting December 31, 2022, as the end date for LMA access. In line with this milestone, ICE will not support the creation of any new LMA access starting August 1, 2022.
The TT platform already supports the required tags for IM SMA as required by ICE. Below are the mappings between the required tags and the respective fields in the TT user setup.
- Tag 439 – Clearing Firm ID
- Tag 440 – Exchange Account
Customers are requested to get in touch with TT onboarding team in case any assistance is needed for setup.

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, OEB4, OEB5 will be listed under the OESB Product Symbol, and will be sequentially integrated into the following month as they expire.
Currently, the Weekly options are:
OEB1
OEB2
OEB4
OEB5
Current Monthly Option:
OESB Oct22
At the end of the integration process, the October contracts will be the following:
OESB Oct22-W1Fr
OESB Oct22-W2Fr
OESB Oct22
OESB Oct22-W4Fr
OESB Oct22-W5Fr
It is important to note that the Weekly Options will sequentially migrate after each weekly option expires.
For example, in the third week in October, OEB1 and OEB2 have already migrated to their OESB November Week 1 and Week November 2 display names, while weeks 4 and 5 have not migrated yet.
Here is another example with a visual aid:
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.
Eurex Next Generation ETD contracts are now available in UAT for customer testing. The following products are now available, please see the product symbols below and use those for testing purposes:
Active as of July 2022:
T+X MSCI Futures and Spreads (FMEA, FMWN)
Integration of sub-monthly options (NOA3, OGBL, AXA, BAY, CSGN, ROG, ODAX (including end of month contracts), OSMI)
Daily expiring single stock futures (AXAP, BAYP, NO3P, ROGP)
Activation Date in Simulation: September 23, 2022 (integration period until October 18, 2022):
Starting 23 September 2022, Eurex will gradually integrate all weekly expiring contracts OES1/OES2/OES4/OMSX into the standard option OESX. Please find below the detailed migration schedule:
Activation Date September 30, 2022:
Daily expiring contracts in MSCI Futures FMWO, FMJP, FMEF
Activation Date October 6, 2022:
Daily expiring contracts in single stock futures in ADSP, BMWP, UBSP
