NYSE Liffe Gateway 7.18.40 and X_TRADER 7.17.89 and higher support the following types of OTC trades via Euronext Optiq:

• Large-in-Scale Trades — high volume trades in any outright or strategy product.
• Large-in-Scale Package Trades — pre-negotiated trades between two parties that take place outside the central order book. Each trader enters one side of the Prof Trade and the details must correctly match to complete the transaction.
• Exchange For Swap (EFS) — allows trades to offset a specific OTC swap transaction for a similar commodity or a direct product of that commodity.
• Against Actual — strategies for commodities markets that incorporate a futures leg and an underlying commodity leg.
• Request for Cross — A cross order submitted for a specific duration of time to allow price improvement and matching based on responses to the request from other traders.

The fields in the Wholesale Order window vary depending on the exchange, type of product, or instrument you trade. If the product is a strategy, the associated legs for that strategy are listed in the appropriate fields in Wholesale Order window.

If you need to cancel a wholesale order, contact the exchange and provide them with your ITM. If you don’t know which ITM was used to place the order, contact your TT Gateway administrator for your ITM ("SenderCompId" in the gateway hostinfo.cfg file).
