[Update] Eurex: Next-Generation ETD Contracts

March 27

The Eurex NextGen ETD initiatives are going live this weekend. Please note the following points:

• Update for FIX users: FIX Order Routing clients looking up contracts/placing orders on weekly contracts can no longer rely on tags 200 and 205, as there are now multiple contracts within a single month that will have the same Contract Year/Month. TT’s tag 200 value matches the year and month shown in the contract display name and will not match the year and month values in tag 541 for these contracts.Customers must use Tag 541 to ensure the correct year, month and day values are matched for weekly contracts. 

• TT is adding a new DeliveryTerm value to Tag 18211-DeliveryTerm ‘C’ which represents ‘EOM.’ This tag is not mandatory on orders but will be returned on Execution Reports. This value is not required for order routing. This value will not be available for the Go-Live on March 27th, however for FIX Drop Copy users, a FIX ruleset can be put in place based on AltSecID values to set 18211=C. 

• As a result of the Eurex NextGen ETD initiatives, the instrument name value sent by Eurex and populated in TT’s database in the instrument level field “Name” has changed for all products. This was updated in Production on the weekend of March 17th. Customers using RTD should be aware that changes may be necessary for proper contract lookup. Also, RTD customers should be aware that the instrument detail method will not work for sub-monthly products being introduced.

• Please refer to Next-Generation-ETD-Contracts-Roll-out-Appr.pdf for the timeline for the Roll-out approach in Production. This will provide the integration plans for various products.
