Effective February 1, 2012, quotation requirements for Market Makers in equity options at Eurex will be changed in the following way:
1. Change of Minimum Quote Sizes and Spread Class Assignments
Resulting from Eurex’s regular Market Maker parameter review, adjustments of parameters in the two different Market-Making models, i.e. Permanent Market-Making (PMM) and Advanced Market-Making (AMM) will be made. Minimum quote sizes and spread class assignments are set according to market conditions and liquidity.
2. Extension of Strike Price Window
Participants who are taking part in Market-Making schemes are kindly requested to adjust their system settings accordingly. It is highly recommended to verify Market Maker performance in the first days of February 2012, using the respective Eurex MMPM reports.
