UPDATED – Euronext: Migration of Power Derivatives from Nasdaq

March 16, 2026

Nasdaq Nordic Power Derivatives will be migrated to Euronext for inclusion in their Nord Pool Power Derivatives offering on March 14, for trading beginning on March 16. Euronext previously completed the technical launch of these instruments on February 2, and they are currently available on TT.

In preparation for the March 16 migration:

• ACTION NEEDED – Market Data Permissioning Changes
  • For the initial launch of Power Derivatives on February 2, these products were included in the “Commodity Derivatives” market data subscription in TT User Setup 
  • After the close on Friday, March 6, a separate market data subscription, “Power Derivatives”, will be added in TT User Setup to support this migration – Note that this setting may be configured any time after March 6, but will only become active on Monday, March 16
  • Customers who wish to view market data for the Power Derivatives products must ensure that Users are permissioned for the additional subscription type
  • As of Monday, March 16, customers who have not enabled the Power Derivatives segment will no longer be able to view market data for these products
• As a component of this product migration, Euronext has introduced new wholesale trade types for Power Derivatives: Block Standard, Block NFC Auction and Block Historical
  • Support for these new Wholesale types will be added on TT at a later date

Eurex/EEX: Self Match Prevention (SMP) and Other Enhancements

March 9

TT will provide support for the following Eurex/EEX exchange functionality:

Enhancement to Self Match Prevention:

On December 1, Eurex and EEX are enhancing the Self Match Prevention (SMP) feature to add 3 new types in addition to the current offering. These new SMP types will be configurable via a new drop down at the User level in TTUS, and the following values will be allowed:

• Cancel Aggressive and Passive  (Netting, existing model) 
• Cancel Passive (resting order will be cancelled) 
• Cancel Aggressive (Incoming order will be cancelled) 

Order Entry Rejection Based on Eurex Trading Capacity Requirements:

Eurex requires that, for Agency orders, the Client ID field must be populated, otherwise they will be rejected.

For Proprietary or Market Making orders, the Client ID field may remain empty.

TT will now reject orders prior to submission to the exchange under these conditions: 

• Trading Capacity  = Any other capacity (Agency)
• Account Type = A1 – A9 (Required when Trading Capacity is Any other capacity / Agency)
• Client ID = Blank

This change is being made to address reporting concerns from customers when orders are sent to the exchange and are rejected because they do not meet these conditions.

TT deployed both of these changes to UAT on January 22 for customer testing. Production deployment will be completed on March 9.

B3: Upcoming B3 FIX Order Entry Gateway Migration for Equities – Action Required

April 10,2026 – May 15, 2026

B3 has announced a phased reduction of FIX Order Entry Gateways starting in April 2026, affecting certain Equities connections. Similar changes were done for the Derivatives segment in Q4 2025. Clients may have already received a notice directly from B3 with the full schedule.

Customers who have received notice that their FIX order entry sessions are affected must ensure the new IPs, Ports, and Target Comp IDs are updated by the date listed in the notice they received from B3.

Customers who would prefer to make these changes before the exchange deadline can contact B3 to have their session IDs migrated to the new destination gateway and would then need to ensure the corresponding TT connections are updated.

NOTE: Customers who have received this notice must complete the required changes by the exchange deadline, otherwise connections will fail to login.

It is strongly recommended that clients perform these updates after the trading session ends and before the next session begins 

For questions, contact B3 at +55 11 2565-5021, [email protected] 

Updated: B3: Binary Protocol

May 1, 2026

B3 has rolled out new low latency binary protocols for market data via the Binary Unified Market Data Feed (UMDF) and for Order entry (Simple Binary Encoding (SBE).

TT has already migrated its Market Data to the binary UMDF protocol and, for order entry, currently supports both the legacy FIX API and the new binary API.

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- Completed: TT upgraded its Market Data feed to use the new Binary UMDF protocol.
• Phase 2- In Progress: Customers can continue using their existing FIX order connections while also having the option to configure new binary API connections. 
• Phase 3- Future: TT will discontinue support for the legacy FIX order entry API, requiring all customers to use the Binary Order Entry API connections. Any GTC/GTDate orders resting on legacy FIX connections will be canceled when the cut-off occurs.

NOTE: B3 has set the length of the “Entering Trader” value to five on the Binary Order Entry API.

TT will discontinue support for the FIX Order Entry API at the end of Q1, 2026. Customers that have not yet moved to the Binary Order Entry API are strongly encouraged to begin planning for this migration.

Eurex/EEX/NODAL : T7 14.1 Upgrade 

May 18, 2026 

Deutsche Börse will release T7 14.1 to Production on May 18, 2026 across Eurex, EEX and NODAL. Simulation access for T7 Release 14.1 will be available from the exchange on March 23, and TT will provide access in UAT as soon as possible once internal testing is complete. 

Additional information from the exchange (including System documentation, circulars and timelines) is available on the T7 14.0 initiative page via the following link: www.eurex.com > Support > Initiatives & Releases > T7 Release 14.1

The following are the anticipated milestones for this project:

Major Change : 

1 ) Decommissioning of Deprecated ETI Order Entry Requests

Within the Release Notes for T7 Release 13.1, clients were informed that the old Single and Multi-Leg requests were marked as deprecated in all technical documentation and would be finally decommissioned with T7 Release 14.1, taking place in May 2026.

Five new ETI order management requests were introduced to align order layouts across T7 exchanges, combine simple & complex layouts into one request and rearrange fields for efficiency and improved latency.

Currently, TT supports the old ETI requests and will upgrade to the new ETI requests in advance of the decommission date.

Customer Impact : TT is planning to migrate to the new ETI order management requests before the decommissioning of old ETI requests . No action is needed from TT customers . 

2) TLS Upgrade 1.3 

Support for TLS 1.3 on the Eurex T7 platform was introduced in October 2023, and the exchange has continued to support TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 in parallel since that time. Support for TLS 1.2 will be decommissioned in Q1, 2026.

Currently, TT supports TLS 1.2 and will upgrade to TLS 1.3 in early April of the decommission date.

Customer Impact: There will be no impact on the customer experience, and no action is needed from customers.

  • For the options contracts that are halted due to HKEX’s Trade Halt Mechanism, trading will be automatically resumed based on a deterministic model built by HKEX.
• Enhancement to the reference price determination methodology

None of these proposed changes by HKEX have any direct impact on TT, and will be supported on TT without requiring any additional changes to the software.
