Action Item  

Improved Scalability for FIXML Processing

Introduction of multiple receivers per FIXML request queue introduced for higher throughput and resilience, improving transaction processing capacity and reducing latency under heavy load. 
 
Please ensure that your FIXML client application does not rely on the order of incoming messages for correct processing.
 

Clearing Members should review FIXML interface specifications and adjust systems accordingly. Technical details for Clearing Members can be found in the document “Eurex Clearing Messaging Interfaces Connectivity: AMQP Connectivity”.

Changes in Fee Identification Code – New Value in Fee Trade Type Qualifier

Introduction of new value “Q” for BLOCK_QTPIP transactions (previously “T”).
 
VBAP group assignment for Block QTPIP trades will be restricted after activation. Fee calculation and reporting logic must accommodate the new value.

Clearing Member should update internal fee mapping tables and VBAP grouping logic. Valid values and examples for Clearing Members can be found in the document “C7 Fee Identification Code – User Guide”.

  • All in the money options will be automatically exercised 
  • Manual exercises and abandonment of specific positions will not be supported 
  • Members cannot set individual “In The Money exercise parameters” for FX options 

Clearing Members should ensure systems and procedures comply with new restrictions.

Further details about “Fee Identification Code” and all valid values can be found in the document “C7 - Derivatives Clearing Functional Reference Guide”.
