Eurex Exchange’s new trading architecture: Start of simulation

Eurex Exchange will introduce its new trading architecture on 3 December 2012. To prepare for the production launch, Eurex Exchange will offer access to a simulation environment prior to the production launch. The first phase – regular simulation – will run on a dedicated environment and is scheduled to commence on Thursday, 18 October 2012.

The Eurex ETI gateways will be available from 15 October 2012 for a connection test prior to the simulation start. Please note that the Eurex ETI gateways will still be undergoing some maintenance and will therefore be sporadically unavailable. Visit our implementation news section on the Eurex website for the availability of the Eurex ETI gateways.

To support participants preparing for the regular simulation phase, Eurex provides the latest updates on the new trading architecture and the simulation environment, respectively. This includes a set of updated documents and new screencasts. In addition and for this purpose, Eurex has established a dedicated news section for the latest news on the regular simulation and the implementation of the new trading architecture in general. All information sources will be available on the Eurex website www.eurexchange.com under the link:

The next simulation phase - production simulation - is scheduled to commence on 12 November 2012. This simulation phase will run on the new production environment of Eurex Exchange’s new trading architecture.

Please note that all trader accounts set up in the current Eurex® system as of 31 October 2012 will be migrated to the new production environment. All participants are asked to use the production simulation phase to verify and if necessary modify the migrated user accounts. More details on the production simulation phase will be provided at a later date.
