Eurex Exchange’s new trading architecture: Production simulation and production launch

Eurex Exchange will launch its new trading architecture on 3 December 2012 with the first set of active products. Following the production launch date, more products will be migrated in a stepwise approach from the current Eurex®system.

To support participants preparing for the production launch, Eurex Exchange will offer access to the production environment prior to the production launch date. This phase – “production simulation” - is scheduled to commence on Monday, 19 November 2012.

This circular outlines production simulation and production launch procedures. More details on production simulation and the production launch will be provided in the document “Production Simulation and Launch Guide” which is available on the Eurex website www.eurexchange.com. A set of new and updated documents will be made available for production simulation and the production launch. The documents will be published between 6 and 9 November 2012.

In addition, Eurex Exchange will use the Implementation news section on the Eurex website to provide latest news on production simulation and the production launch of the new trading architecture.

All information sources are available on the Eurex website under the link:

Participants who intend to access production simulation are requested to register by means of the attached form.
