Change Summary

Warning
titleMandatory Change

Background

  • To enhance liquidity and market data quality, EBS will introduce the Conditional Price Increments feature to a selected few Spot instruments.

  • CPI will allow the submission of orders with sub-pip prices when trading the eligible Spot instruments - FXSPOT.AUD/USD and FXSPOT.EUR/USD.

Affected Venues

Change

  • In addition to the current Standard Globex Minimum Tick for EBS Market products, EBS will publish an "Alternate Globex Minimum Tick".
  • Orders that use the Alternate Globex Minimum Tick will be subject to a different Minimum Quote Life [MQL] value compared to the Standard Globex Minimum Tick.
  • Price Discretion orders [PD orders that rest at a limit price but would accept fills at another price to improve matching opportunity] will support Alternate Globex Minimum Tick values on the DiscretionPrice field to interact with other sub-pip price orders.
  • New iLink3 Reject Codes and Reject Text for orders rejected due to Conditional Price Increments.

Note
titleAltPriceIncrementConstraint and MaxBidAskConstraint

These two fields are set to Null by EBS to allow orders placed with any AltMinPriceIncrement [without any price constraints].
