OTC Transactions: Individual Order Numbers

To permit better identification of OTC transactions, order numbers generated by Eurex will be assigned as of February 5, 2010 in the simulation environment and as of February 15, 2010 in the production environment.


Thus, each OTC transaction will have an individual system-generated order number.
This measure will not affect order numbers of volatility strategy trades in equity options, as the order number for this kind of OTC transactions, as before, is the delivery ID for the cash leg equity trade contained in the volatility strategy.


Member applications which use the VALUES request “Inquire Own Trade” should be verified as to the compatibility with this measure. In the future, the Eurex @X-ceed Trading GUI will display system-generated order numbers of OTC transactions in the Own Trade Overview window.
