CBOT Market Data Vendor
Technical Update
***********************************
September 22, 1998
CBOT DAYTIME ELECTRONIC TREASURY FUTURES LAUNCH SEPTEMBER 28
The Chicago Board of Trade has received regulatory approval to begin daytime
session electronic trading for CBOT Treasury futures contracts on September
28, 1998. The electronic-traded Treasury futures (ticker symbols ZB, ZN,
ZF, ZT) will be traded during the afternoon, overnight, and day sessions.
The new electronic-traded Treasury futures ticker symbology goes into effect
with the overnight trading session on Sunday, September 27, 1998.
Please note that the launch of daytime electronic trading means that there
will not be any sessional reports sent out over the CBOT ticker feed for the
pit-traded Treasury futures (ticker symbols US, TY, FV, and TU). Market
data vendor displays and data bases for the CBOT*s pit-traded Treasury
futures contracts will no longer need to support multiple trading sessions.
Sessional reports for afternoon, overnight, day, and composite activity will
only appear for the electronic-traded *Z* Treasury futures contracts.
On Friday, September 25, test data will be made available over the CBOT*s
ticker network*s test dataport (J7A). Test data for the CBOT datafeed will
be sent out at 9:00 a.m. while test data for the Project A best bids &
offers datafeed will go out at 2:00 p.m., Chicago time.
Please refer any ITC 2.1 datafeed support questions to Mr. Bill Buch or
Denise Sikorski at 312-435-3701.
