Back to Top CME Globex Market Segment Gateway Enhancements - June 21 CME Group will introduce the following Market Segment Gateway (MSGW) enhancements to further safeguard CME Globex infrastructure. With this enhancement, if a Market Segment Gateway (MSGW) iLink session sends a network packet with an incomplete message, that session will be subject to additional processing to ensure the stability of the platform. This processing results in at least 3 microseconds before the message(s) can be sent to the trading engine. iLink messages impacted by this enhancement will be flagged in the corresponding Acknowledgment sent from CME Globex. Customers are strongly encouraged to ensure all messages are contained within a single network packet by the following methods: Ensure any packet sent to CME group contains only complete messages Limit the number of quote entries in a mass quote message that fits within a single TCP packet Disable nagling, an algorithm that concatenates a number of small buffer messages to decrease the number of sent packets, on your order routing systems As a reminder, conduct that disrupts, delays, or overloads the systems or operations of the exchange may be deemed to violate Rule 575 (“Disruptive Practices Prohibited”) or other rules, including Rule 432.Q. (“General Offenses – to commit an act which is detrimental to the interest or welfare of the Exchange or to engage in any conduct which tends to impair the dignity or good name of the Exchange”). Rule 575 further provides that it is a violation to enter or cause to be entered an order where the intent at the time of order entry is to cancel the order before execution. It is also a violation of Rule 575 to intentionally or recklessly enter or cause to be entered an actionable or non-actionable message that may cause an adverse impact on the orderliness of the markets. Customers interested in finding out how MSGW enhancements would impact their iLink sessions should contact their Global Account Manager for additional information. In internal testing, iLink round trip times at the 75th percentile and above increased at least 10%. Please review the Client Impact Assessment for additional information on these Market Segment Gateway enhancements. The CME Globex MSGW enhancements are currently available for customer testing in New Release. In addition, the new FIX tags for this enhancement will be available for customer testing in AutoCert+ Test Suite - MSGW Protection Enhancements.

Please review the Client Impact Assessment for additional information and decommission schedules. Back to Top CME Globex Market Segment Gateway Enhancements - June 21 CME Group will introduce the following Market Segment Gateway (MSGW) enhancements to further safeguard CME Globex infrastructure. With this enhancement, if a Market Segment Gateway (MSGW) iLink session sends a network packet with an incomplete message, that session will be subject to additional processing to ensure the stability of the platform. This processing results in at least 3 microseconds before the message(s) can be sent to the trading engine. iLink messages impacted by this enhancement will be flagged in the corresponding Acknowledgment sent from CME Globex. Customers are strongly encouraged to ensure all messages are contained within a single network packet by the following methods: Ensure any packet sent to CME group contains only complete messages Limit the number of quote entries in a mass quote message that fits within a single TCP packet Disable nagling, an algorithm that concatenates a number of small buffer messages to decrease the number of sent packets, on your order routing systems As a reminder, conduct that disrupts, delays, or overloads the systems or operations of the exchange may be deemed to violate Rule 575 (“Disruptive Practices Prohibited”) or other rules, including Rule 432.Q. (“General Offenses – to commit an act which is detrimental to the interest or welfare of the Exchange or to engage in any conduct which tends to impair the dignity or good name of the Exchange”). Rule 575 further provides that it is a violation to enter or cause to be entered an order where the intent at the time of order entry is to cancel the order before execution. It is also a violation of Rule 575 to intentionally or recklessly enter or cause to be entered an actionable or non-actionable message that may cause an adverse impact on the orderliness of the markets. Customers interested in finding out how MSGW enhancements would impact their iLink sessions should contact their Global Account Manager for additional information. In internal testing, iLink round trip times at the 75th percentile and above increased at least 10%. Please review the Client Impact Assessment for additional information on these Market Segment Gateway enhancements. The CME Globex MSGW enhancements are currently available for customer testing in New Release. In addition, the new FIX tags for this enhancement will be available for customer testing in AutoCert+ Test Suite - MSGW Protection Enhancements. Certification is not required for these MSGW enhancements. Mock Trading Session: CME Group will offer two customer mock trading sessions on Saturday, May 30 and Saturday, June 6, to support customer experience with the MSGW enhancements in the CME Globex production environment. Customers are required to register in advance in order to participate in this mock trading session. The mock trading session script will be announced in future CME Globex Notices.

3 Aero Design Series – Stock Wheel – Part 3: Saving and Renaming By blogs.solidworks.com Published On :: Fri, 24 Apr 2020 12:00:27 +0000 Welcome to the first in a line of Aero Design Video Series created by Matthew Gruber in collaboration with SOLIDWORKS and SolidXPerts! This first series is for beginners using SOLIDWORKS for the SAE Aero Design and Design/Build/Fly competitions. In this tutorial, we will learn focus on saving and renaming parts. Author information Matthew Gruber Matthew Gruber is an alumni of Concordia University's Aero Design and Design/Build/Fly teams in 2015 through 2017, having joined after gaining an interest in helicopters and airplanes from living in Alaska. Now is in his 3rd year in the airframe stress group of the 525 helicopter program at Bell and with 1 year of internships at Bombardier behind him, he credits the hands-on learning and team project experiences in SAE and D/B/F as the most formative in his path towards aerospace engineering. Being able to create in programs like SolidWorks and then to build into realization is one of the most rewarding aspects of engineering. In his spare time, Matt likes backcountry snowboarding with his family dogs, bicycling for commuting, mountain trails and touring, looking for music and hanging out with friends and family. For fun, for practice, and for a connection with the education and University communities and you the students, Matt is stoked to bring you these aero design video series.

3 Dealers' insurance, market structure, and liquidity By www.bis.org Published On :: 2020-05-04T13:30:00Z We develop a parsimonious model to study the effect of regulations aimed at reducing counterparty risk on the structure of over-the-counter securities markets. We find that such regulations promote entry of dealers, thus fostering competition and lowering spreads. Greater competition, however, has an indirect negative effect on market-making profitability.

3 Banks' dividends in Covid-19 times By www.bis.org Published On :: 2020-05-06T07:00:00Z FSI Briefs No 6, May 2020. Regulatory actions in the current circumstances need to focus on preserving banks' lending activity without jeopardising their solvency. This means that flexibility in capital requirements, including through the use of regulatory buffers, and capital conservation should go hand in hand. Basel III provides for automatic distribution constraints when capital falls below specific thresholds. In the current context, this may disincentivise firms from following authorities' recommendations to use capital buffers. Blanket distribution restrictions imposed through supervisory action may help address these disincentives to the extent that they are not linked to firms' individual capital positions and thus remove any possible stigma effect. Most authorities have undertaken initiatives in relation to banks' distribution policies in the Covid-19 pandemic environment. However, practices across jurisdictions diverge markedly as regards scope and stringency. Full Article
3 Effects of Covid-19 on the banking sector: the market's assessment By www.bis.org Published On :: 2020-05-07T14:30:00Z Banks' performance on equity and debt markets since the Covid-19 outbreak has been on a par with that experienced after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008. During the initial phase, the market sell-off swept over all banks, which underperformed significantly relative to other sectors. Still, markets showed some differentiation by bank nationality, and credit default swap (CDS) spreads rose the most for those banks that had entered the crisis with the highest level of credit risk. The subsequent stabilisation, brought about by forceful policy measures since mid-March, has favoured banks with higher profitability and healthier balance sheets. Less profitable banks saw their long-term rating outlooks revised to negative. And the CDS spreads of the riskiest banks continued increasing even through the stabilisation phase. Full Article
