TA-25 Index Futures: Definition of position limits

The position limits for index futures on the TA-25 were set to 20,000 contracts.

Position limits apply only to long positions in TA-25 Index Futures. Exceeding the position limits will cause Eurex Deutschland and Eurex Zurich to request information from the exchange participant.

The limits will constantly be monitored intraday by Eurex Market Supervision and the Trading Surveillance Office. Immediate position adjustments should be made by using the Trade Adjustmentfunction (Open/Close Adjustment) instead of the Position Close-Out, in order to avoid such transactions being subject to late closing fees.

If the position limits are exceeded, the respective Participants will be requested by Eurex Deutschland or Eurex Zürich to specify a Eurex user ID which can be used by Eurex Deutschland and Eurex Zurich to undo the exceeding of the position limits.
