Committed Cross (C-Cross) Overview For a full description of committed cross www.cmegroup.com/committedcross The submission of an RFC in a C-Cross market immediately triggers a Pre-Cross state and related messages, including an RFQ. - The pre-cross period will be 5 seconds for all financial options. This waiting period is enforced by CME Globex upon submission, meaning that a manual RFQ is no longer required prior to submission of the cross order. - This pre-cross period doesn t prevent any market participants from entering orders or trading. - Related messages at the start of pre-cross period indicate that a cross is going to take place in the specific instrument. This provides an opportunity for market participants to populate the order book with their best prices. - Price and Size are not disclosed to the market and the C-Cross cannot be canceled during the pre-cross period Following the pre-cross period, the C-Cross matching process will occur on CME Globex without any additional order entry required by the submitting broker. 1. If eligible, a Better Price Match (BPM) allocation will match a percentage of the cross order, provided the following price improvement conditions are met: The BPM percentage is 35% for Interest Rate Options. The C-Cross price betters the current market upon entry, and the C-Cross price is equal to or better than the current market at end of the pre-cross period when the cross takes place 2. Following the application of BPM percentage (when applicable) the remainder of the cross will interact with resting orders in the market before any remaining quantity matches between the cross orders. 3. If BPM eligibility conditions are not met, or if the product s BPM percentage is configured at 0%, the cross will interact with resting orders in the market before any remaining part of the cross orders match with each other. 7

Committed Cross Examples with BPM configured to 35% Each example assumes cross is 500 contracts @ price = 7 MARKET BEFORE C-CROSS SUBMITTED MARKET AFTER PRE-CROSS PERIOD MATCHING ON CROSS NOTES Cross Bid entirely filled, Cross offer not filled. Example 1 6 7 2,000 x 2,000 6 7 2,000 x 2,000 Cross Bid will match with 7 offer currently in the market, Cross offer will get 0. Remaining cross offer will be left working or cancelled per submitter s instruction RFC didn t better the market price, so it doesn t receive BPM. Cross bid (offer) will face the current market first. Cross Bid entirely filled, cross offer receives 200 Example 2 6 7 200 x 200 6 7 300 x 300 Cross Bid will entirely fill, 300 with market then 200 with cross offer. Cross offer will receive 200. Remaining 300 cross offer will be left working or cancelled per submitter s instruction RFC didn t better the market price so it doesn t receive BPM. Cross bid will face the market first then any remaining will cross. Example 3 6 8 2,000 x 2,000 6 8 5,000 x 5,000 Both cross bid and cross offer will entirely match and receive 500 contracts Cross price of 7 remained best price at time of cross. Example 4 6 8 2,000 x 2,000 6 7 2,000 x 1,000 Cross Bid entirely filled, Cross offer gets 175 contracts. Both Cross Bid and ask will receive 35% of the cross.(175 contracts). Bid will then match with the book 7 offer and be entirely filled. Remaining cross 325 offer will be left working or cancelled per submitter s instruction Cross is eligible for 35% BPM because it bettered the market when the RFC was submitted and is better or equal than market at close of the pre-cross state. Following the BPM% the cross will face the market before any remainder of the cross matches. Example 5 6 8 2,000 x 2,000 6 7 2,000 x 100 Cross Bid entirely filled, Cross offer gets 400 contracts. Both Cross bid and ask will receive 35% of the cross. (175 contracts). The Cross bid will then buy 100 contracts from the market. The remaining 225 on the cross bid will then match with the cross offer. Remaining 100 cross offer will be left working or cancelled per submitter s instruction Cross is eligible for 35% BPM because it bettered the market when the RFC was submitted and is better or equal than market at close of the pre-cross state. Following the BPM % the cross faces the market, Following this step the remaining smaller quantity on the cross matched. Example 6 6 9 2,000 x 2,000 8 9 1,000 x 2,000 Cross Offer gets filled entirely at 8 with the market. Cross Bid does not get any fill. Cross offer of 500 contracts will match entirely with current market bid at better price of 8. Remaining cross 7 bid will be left working or cancelled per submitter s instruction Cross is ineligible for the BPM. Two criteria need to be met to be eligible for 35 % BPM. The C-Cross price betters the current market upon entry, and the C-Cross price is equal to or better than the current market at end of the pre-cross period. In this example the cross price was worse than the current market following the pre-cross period. 8

Committed Cross and Bunched Orders Bunched orders may be used for Committed Cross Trades Bunched RFC Orders In those circumstances where order entry into Globex occurs via the submission of a Request for Cross ( RFC ) (an order which contains both the buy and the sell orders) pursuant to the requirements of Exchange Rule 539.C. ( Pre-Execution Communications Regarding Globex Trades ), a broker may bunch multiple market maker orders for the purpose of satisfying the terms of a single customer order and enter the bunched market maker orders using a suspense account. The suspense account may not be used to represent the customer side of the RFC order. Where a suspense account is used on the market maker side of the order, brokers must ensure that the market maker orders are documented in accordance with Rule 536.B.1. with specific market maker account identifiers on the order tickets. Brokers must obtain a suspense account from their clearing firm and may use that suspense account solely for purposes of entering the bunched market maker orders on one side of an RFC. Allocations to end-clients are required to be completed in the CME clearing system before the end of the clearing session for that trade date. http://www.cmegroup.com/notices/market-regulation/2016/08/ra1605-5r.pdf http://www.cmegroup.com/rulebook/cme/i/5/5.pdf 9

Tools and Resources White Papers Greenwich Associates Total Cost Analysis (TCA) White Paper Based on conversations with over 40 market participants and the use of quantitative modeling, Greenwich Associates believes that, over the medium and long term, futures products will gain traction at the expense of more standardized cleared swaps https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/interest-rates/files/greenwich-advisors-total-cost-analysis-ofinterest-rate-swaps-futures.pdf CME Group also launched a Total Cost Analysis tool for customers to put in their own assumptions about liquidity and costs, to analyze resulting implications for TCA www.cmegroup.com/tca The New Treasury Market Paradigm Market commentators have observed that liquidity in Treasury futures has become comparable, if not superior, to liquidity in the cash Treasury securities market as demand for off-balance-sheet Treasury exposure continues to increase. This paper applies external sources to examine the evolution of liquidity in both cash and futures markets as well as other important factors such as settlement fails in cash Treasuries www.cmegroup.com/treasuryparadigm 15

Disclaimer Futures trading is not suitable for all investors, and involves the risk of loss. Futures are a leveraged investment, and because only a percentage of a contract s value is required to trade, it is possible to lose more than the amount of money deposited for a futures position. Therefore, traders should only use funds that they can afford to lose without affecting their lifestyles. And only a portion of those funds should be devoted to any one trade because they cannot expect to profit on every trade. Swaps trading is not suitable for all investors, involves the risk of loss and should only be undertaken by investors who are eligible contract participants (ECPs) within the meaning of section 1(a)18 of the Commodity Exchange Act. Swaps are a leveraged investment, and because only a percentage of a contract s value is required to trade, it is possible to lose more than the amount of money deposited for a swaps position. Therefore, traders should only use funds that they can afford to lose without affecting their lifestyles. And only a portion of those funds should be devoted to any one trade because they cannot expect to profit on every trade.
