11. Can I enter a position on Project A and liquidate that position in
open outcry?
Yes. For price reporting purposes, the products trading on Project A
will have a separate ticker symbol but they will be processed by the
Board of Trade Clearing Corporation as the same contracts as those
traded in open outcry.
12. What are the hours?
In the side-by-side scenario, the CBOT will provide trading access 22
hours a day. The trading day will begin at 2:15 p.m. Chicago time with
the afternoon Project A session. This session will continue until 4:30
p.m. and then pause for ninety minutes. Project A will resume at 6:00
p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Project A will then pause until 6:30 a.m., at which
time it will reopen and trade until 2:00 p.m. Open outcry side-by-side
hours will be announced in the near future.

14. How will settlement prices be generated?
Settlement prices will be established after the end of the trading day,
at 2:00 p.m. Chicago time. This is consistent with the CBOT's current
settlement practice.
For BMI, go to symbol universe and copy the info from the the US, TY FV,
and TU. Then ADD new symbol using the new symbol names and the times above.
When you have created the new symbols, then go to your portfolio and ADD
them. Since TS only has a place for two sessions, you can make the first
session from 06:30am to 02:00 pm M T W T F...and session 2, from 02:30pm to
06:00am, S M T W T.
The symbols are presented then in the same way, e.g., US8Z = ZB8Z.
