See the following links for the products I am referencing: http://www.cme.com/trading/prd/fx/eurofxovreopt12163.html http://www.cme.com/trading/prd/fx/japyenovreopt12164.html I know that you broadcast the American style options (both pit and globex), but the European style options have been available for a few months. Thanks.

borg -Interested User- Posts: 21 Joined: Jan 26, 2005	Posted: Jul 15, 2005 11:26 AM Msg. 5 of 16 O.K.. Here is another question which is similar to the fx options question. Next month the CME will add Eurodollar options to the Globex platform. See the following link: http://www.cme.com/trading/get/sup/glxnews2825.html#OptionsEnhancements So will DTN broadcast this data when it becomes available? I know that you added the ES, NQ, and ER2 Globex options when they started trading this year.

borg -Interested User- Posts: 21 Joined: Jan 26, 2005	Posted: Jul 20, 2005 11:22 AM Msg. 7 of 16 Why you are not answering the question? If you are not going to broadcast the futures option data on ED, that's fine. I will have to make other arrangements to get the data. But I am assuming that you are not arbitrarily making decisions about which contracts to list. So what is your criteria? marketdataservices? Jay?

DTN_MarketData -DTN's Market Data Experts- Posts: 786 Joined: Jul 15, 2004	Posted: Jul 20, 2005 02:32 PM Msg. 9 of 16 Borg, I've just heard back from our development teams and it appears that substantial development is needed before this option data would be available. I apologize for giving you incorrect information before but development will not be done before mid Aug.
borg -Interested User- Posts: 21 Joined: Jan 26, 2005	Posted: Jul 21, 2005 12:42 PM Msg. 10 of 16 I really appreciate your getting back to me. So I guess the next logical question is how long will it take your development team to write handlers to broadcast the data? I know that there will probably be a beta period after development to make sure there are no problems. So can you give a ETA for alpha/beta testing and a ETA for production environment? Thanks.

borg -Interested User- Posts: 21 Joined: Jan 26, 2005	Posted: Aug 4, 2005 09:33 AM Msg. 13 of 16 From the CME web site: Are You Ready for CME Eurodollar Options on CME Globex? The Enhanced Options System for CME Eurodollars will launch on the CME Globex platform on Sunday, August 14, 2005, creating broader access and round the clock liquidity for CME Eurodollar options. To date, the Enhanced Options System has only been available to a limited number of users through the CME-provided Enhanced Options System platform. Beginning August 14, 2005, this unique functionality will be integrated into the CME Globex platform, providing CME Eurodollar options traders with the following key features and benefits: Integration with major ISVs and proprietary front ends Compatibility with standard CME APIs Global distribution of real-time market data Increased liquidity commitments from major market makers Real-time indicative prices on thousands of complex strategies Tradeable quotes for at the money straddles, puts, and calls With the August 14 launch of the CME Enhanced Options System on the CME Globex platform, the following changes will take effect: The Enhanced Options System functionality, including indicative quotes and RFQs, will be available 23 hours a day on the CME Globex platform Some ISVs will not yet fully support CME Eurodollar options trading - CME Globex Trader™ terminals will no longer support CME Eurodollar options trading You will still be able to trade CME Eurodollar options via existing Enhanced Options System front ends CME Eurodollar options market data will be distributed via a new CME market data connection. Any definitive information on when DTN will be ready to support the eurodollar option feed? Thanks.
