Euronext: Clearing Migration

5 July to 15 July

Euronext will begin its phased Clearing Migration go-live on July 5, dates as follows:

• Commodity Derivatives Go Live Weekend: July 8
• Financial Derivatives Go Live Weekend: July 15

Euronext Clearing will no longer process the values sent in the Account (Account Info field on TT) as per the above Go Live dates (i.e. July 8 for Commodities and July 15 for Financial Derivatives). Customers affected by this are requested to contact their onboarding representatives for any required changes in TTUS configuration.

On the Friday before each Go-Live (July 5 for Commodity Derivatives and July 12 for Financial Derivatives):

• The evening trading session for the Index Futures on Amsterdam and Paris markets will not take place.
• On Friday, July 5, after Market Closure, Euronext will cancel all resting orders on the Commodity Derivatives Markets. Hence, TT recommends. 
• On Friday, July 12, after Market Closure, Euronext will cancel all resting orders on the Financial Derivatives Markets (no impact to IDEM).

NOTE: 

• TT strongly recommends customers to carry out front to back testing with Euronext Clearing from the TT UAT environment to ensure there are no unforeseen issues due to this clearing migration.
• TT recommends that customers cancel their active GTC / GTD orders in the production environment before close of trading on the above dates and not rely on the exchange’s order purging to avoid any stale orders on TT.
• Since the Euronext API connectivity is not impacted by this clearing migration, there is no corresponding TT upgrade / release for this.

The IDEM market is out of scope for this migration.

UPDATED: CME: Mandatory Migration – iLink3 Binary Order Entry Protocol for CGW

2024

CME has introduced support for iLink3 on Convenience Gateways (CGW) for trading Futures and Options on CME Globex. CME will decommission CGW iLink2 on Jan 31, 2025 however,  all customers must migrate by December 31 of this year to avoid penalties. 

Development of TT iLink3 Convenience Gateway support is now under way. Customers familiar with the MSGW iLink3 upgrade that occurred in 2019 will find the CGW iLink upgrade familiar.

TT’s plans for support of iLink 3.0 for CGW are as follows:

• iLink 3.0 CGW On-Demand Order Entry
  • This is available now for testing in UAT.
  • In order to begin  in UAT, new Connections must be created: (A) using Session IDs that were created by CME specifically for iLink3, and (B) using Type = “Convenience Gateway iLink3” in TT Setup.
  • Order routing functionality of TT CGW iLink3 is identical to TT MSGW iLink3. Therefore, all existing FIX configurations, Order Tag Defaults, etc. will continue to function as expected.
  • Throttle Limits
    • For On-Demand order entry, TT recommends that customers set their Connection level Max Order Rate to 83 transactions per second in order to ensure CME iLink session throttle limits are not exceeded
    • This limit will be applied to New Order Single and Change messages, but Cancel messages will not be throttled by TT
      • Note: Cancel messages are accounted for in the rolling transaction per second queue, but will not be rejected by TT
• iLink 3.0 CGW Pre-Registration Support
  • UAT –  Summer, specific implementation details to be published in the near future
  • Throttle Limits
    • For Pre-Registration order entry, TT recommends that customers set their Connection level Max Order Rate to 166 transactions per second in order to ensure CME iLink session throttle limits are not exceeded
    • This limit will be applied to New Order Single and Change messages, but Cancel messages will not be throttled by TT
      • Note: Cancel messages are accounted for in the rolling transaction per second queue, but will not be rejected by TT

Prior to Production launch on TT, we will provide customers with the ability to participate in Mock  sessions which we will coordinate with the CME, details to be communicated at a later date. 

Further updates regarding timelines, migration, documentation, etc will be shared here in System News.

B3: Binary Protocol

Q2

B3 has introduced new, lower latency Binary protocols for Market Data via the Unified Market Data Feed (UMDF) and Order Entry via Simple Binary Encoding (SBE). 

On March 19, 2024, TT upgraded the B3 Binary market data protocol in UAT, the release note can be found here: https://library.tradingtechnologies.com/release_notes/uat-2024-03.html

Please note that on the new binary SBE UMDF market data protocol, B3 does not send Settle and SettlePU prices. B3 plans to address this in Q2, with the solution becoming available to ISVs in Q3. To address this in the new protocol, TT is implementing an interim solution to retrieve Settle and SettlePU from the old protocol at the beginning and end of each trading session. These values will remain constant until the end of the trading session and won’t be updated in real time. Once this feature becomes available via the new protocol, these values will once again be updated in real-time.

On April 02, 2024, TT deployed the new Binary Order Entry API in UAT. Customers should contact B3 for credentials to be used with the new API. The release note can be found here: https://library.tradingtechnologies.com/release_notes/uat-2024-04.html 

* All clients are strongly encouraged to conduct  in UAT and provide feedback.

Migration Documentation: https://library.tradingtechnologies.com/downloads/B3_Binary_Protocol_Migration_Guide.pdf

Please note that B3 continues to support the legacy protocols in parallel with the new Binary offering, and the TT migration will follow a phased approach:

• Phase 1: TT will update its Market Data feed to use the new UMDF protocol, which is compatible with both the new SBE Order API and the legacy order entry protocol – no changes are expected for end users. This is completed and available in UAT.
• Phase 2: TT will allow customers to continue using their existing order connections, and in parallel will allow customers to configure and use new connections using SBE. 
• Phase 3: TT will discontinue support of the legacy orders API, and customers will need to utilize new SBE connections. Please note that any GTC/GTDate orders on legacy connections will be canceled when we cut off support for the old API.

The following are the anticipated milestones for this project:

ASX : Business Continuity Test

June 29

ASX will conduct a business continuity test in the production ASX 24 environment on Saturday 29 June 2024.  It is expected that all trading participants will participate in the test.The test is to confirm functionality during ASX 24 component fail over from the primary to secondary ASX site and to confirm connectivity is maintained when primary ASX Net connections are failed over.

Registrations via Appendix 1 should be completed and returned to ASX Customer Technical Support (CTS) by close of business on Friday 21 June 2024 to confirm participation for the test.

SGX: Implementation of SGX FX Futures Data as an Independent Data Module

July 1

SGX has announced that starting from July 1, 2024 the exchange will implement an independent data module “SGX FX Futures” that will be comprised of SGX Instrument Groups “FC”, “EC”, “EP” and “FFC.”

Upon completion of the change, all related SGX ticker symbols will be marketed and permissioned under SGX FX Futures as a standalone offering.

TT Platform Impact

This change brings no impact to the TT Platform or to customers and end-users of TT. Support for these changes is already in place and the SGX market data reporting processes already in place at TT today are compliant with the upcoming changes.

SGX / SGX_GIFT: GIFT Connect Service Release 2

July 1

Summary: SGX has announced plans to deploy a new system update, “GIFT Connect Service Release 2” with a target timeframe of July 1, 2024 for production release. The primary impact to TT Platform for SR2 is access to Weekly Options on NSE IX Futures.

Weekly Options Access (SGX_OTC): From July 1, customers with access to TT’s SGX_OTC offering will be able to create NLT / Wholesale orders on the SGX Weekly Option contracts for Nifty 50 Index (Symbol “GINW”), Nifty Bank Index (Symbol “GINBW”) and Nifty Financial Services Index (Symbol “GINFW”). 

Weekly Options Access (SGX_GIFT): Also following the SR2 changes, TT customers will be able to access Weekly Options on NSE IX Futures via SGX_GIFT. Immediately after the SR2 upgrade, access to Weekly Options on SGX_GIFT will be strictly limited to Market Data only. The actual go-live date for SGX participants to trade and clear NSE IX Weekly Options on SGX_GIFT will be announced by the exchange at a later date, subject to due regulatory process.

UAT Availability: The new Weekly Options are available for testing in UAT on SGX / SGX_OTC now. SGX_GIFT in the UAT environment will be updated with Weekly Option support on or before June July 26, 2024.

Additional Features Not Supported: Please note that GIFT Connect SR2 includes three other new features for the SGX_GIFT market. TT Platform support is NOT planned for these features at this time:

• Disclosed Quantity Orders: Order routing and Inbound DropCopy support
• 2L/3L (Multi-leg) Orders: Order routing and Inbound DropCopy support
• On-behalf mass order cancellation and Block/Unblock API ID: Inbound Dropcopy support

ICE: Manual Order Indicator (Tag 1028)

July 1

ICE has announced that, in order to meet regulatory requirements, Manual Order Indicator (Tag 1028) will become mandatory for New Order Cross [35=s]. 

The effective date for this requirement has been updated from July 1, 2024, to September 1, 2024, as noted in their recent circular. TT will begin supporting this feature starting July 1, 2024

TT Impact

This change applies to the  Basis, Block, Cross, and Asset Allocation trade types in ICE and ICE_L. For  trades placed manually via the front end Blocktrader widget, TT will send 1028=Y to ICE. No user action is required. The ability for FIX clients and .NET SDK clients to override Tag 1028 will be introduced in the coming weeks with a separate notice. Until then and if not specified, the default 1028=Y (manual) will apply to orders placed by FIX and .NET SDK clients.

ICE is also mandating that Manual Order Indicator (tag 1028) be set in regular orders as well, and TT is already handling this requirement as follows: 

• For manually placed orders via the front end such as Limit (Tag 40=2), Market (Tag 40=1), Stop Limit (Tag 40=4), and Stop Market (Tag 40=3), TT will assign 1028=Y. 
• For the orders placed via the front end, but internally managed by the Automated trading server or Algo, TT will set 1028=N. This includes Autospreader, Aggregator, ADL Algo Trading, TT synthetic order types, and TT premium order types.
• FIX clients and .NET SDK clients can override Tag 1028. However, if not specified, the default setting is 1028=N.

TFEX: Order Entry Gateway Rebalance

July 6

TFEX has announced an Order Entry Gateway Rebalance for Q3 2024.

EEX: Access to EEX Spot Emissions

July 7

We have identified an issue with access to products on EEX whereby all EEX Spot Emissions and EEX Derivatives products are available to customers when the customers have opted for only the EEX Derivatives option. 

This fix is now available in the UAT environment , and it will be available in prod from July 8. Customers will need to have the correct permissions in TTUS  for access to EEX Spot products. 

TT Platform Impact

Administrators should ensure that Users who require access to EEX Spot market products and data are correctly permissioned in TT User Setup. Please speak with your TT Onboarding representative for assistance if needed.

UPDATED: MX: API Upgrade: Client Identifiers

Q3

MX has announced a SAIL protocol upgrade (B4), with a soft launch date of June 28, 2024, and a new production hard date of March 31, 2025, extended from the original October 1, 2024 deadline. https://www.m-x.ca/f_circulaires_en/074-24_en.pdf

Client identifier changes are now available in TT UAT for testing.

This upgrade includes the introduction of the following new fields for regulatory compliance:

• Short Code
• UniqueID
• Sponsored Access Flag
• Algo Trading Flag 

These fields will be configurable on TT User Setup on Accounts. Please refer to the table below for corresponding TT fields to set these fields.

If UniqueID is populated, it must be exactly 10 digits.

TT will always send the Algo Trading Flag. If the Investment Decision Qualifier is configured on TT User setup on accounts, it will use that value, else TT will set it based on the type of order the user is routing. (TT premium order types: Automatic, TT Synthetic order types: Automatic, MX native order types: Manual).

FIX clients can override all these fields with the following tags, 

Investment Decision ID (tag 448), Investment Decision Qualifier (tag 2376), Client ID (tag 448), and Direct Electronic Access (tag 1724)

• Investment Decision ID: 448= <value>,  452=122(Investment decision maker (IDM)) and 2376=22 (Algo) or 2376=24 (Natural Person)
• ClientID: 448= <value>, 452=3 (ClientID), 2376=23 (Firm or legal entity)
• Direct Electronic Access (DEA): 1724=5 (Order from a direct access or sponsored access customer)

The following are the anticipated milestones for this project:

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

Beginning July 22, 2024, TT will adopt the SAIL B4 version. Customers must log in to the MX Axis portal and begin linking all session IDs to the SAIL B4 version starting today end of the trading session and have until July 21, 2024, to complete this task. Failure to do so will result in order entry session login being denied by the exchange on July 22.

JPX: Revisions to Tick Size for 3-Month TONA Spreads

July 22

Summary: JPX has announced that starting from July 22, 2024 there will be a revision to the Tick Size for Strategy Trading of 3-Month TONA Futures. After the change is implemented, 3-Month TONA (“TOA3M”) Spreads will change from the current 0.0001 tick increment to a tick size increment of 0.0025, thus aligning Spread tick size with their outright Futures.

Software Change for Tick Size: In order to correctly support the tick size change, a simple configuration change on TT JPX Market Data Server is required.

The changes are available for testing in UAT now.

Cancellation of Working Orders: On Friday, July 19, 2024, following the end of the night trading session, all remaining 3-Month TONA long orders, for all security types, will be canceled by the exchange. TT End User order books will automatically update to reflect the cancellation after TT JPX Order Connections login to the exchange on Monday, July 22.

Expansion of Spread Combinations: As an additional revision to 3-Month TONA Spreads, JPX is also expanding the number of spread combinations from the nearest 6 contract months to include all pairs for the nearest 20 contract months (resulting in 190 pairs in total). No TT changes are needed to accommodate this, and the new instruments have been available in UAT since April 10, 2024. Similarly, Production will automatically reflect the updates when JPX introduces the new instruments on the morning of July 22, 2024, before Pre-Open.
