OverviewEurex will launch its new software release, Eurex Release 12.0, on November 16, 2009. The new release introduces innovative clearing and trading features and will support important strategic projects, such as the Eurex/ISE Link and the Eurex/KRX Link. In addition to the software changes for the links with the International Securities Exchange (ISE) and the Korea Exchange (KRX), users will also benefit from optimized usability such as an extended Multilateral Trade Registration facility and an improved OTC Volatility Strategy Trade facility for equity options that now features an integrated cash equity leg. With this release, Eurex will be the first exchange to adopt AMQP - Advanced Message Queuing Protocol. This standard protocol for business messaging will be used by Eurex's new interface "Enhanced Risk Solution" to provide real-time risk management data in FIXML format. Therefore, Eurex Clearing is the world's only clearing house to control risk continuously by recalculating positioning in real-time. Get it all in one package: reduced complexity, improved safeguards, significant cost reduction and increased speed. The market launch of the new features is not necessarily the same as the release date of Eurex Release 12.0 for example, the Eurex/KRX Link is scheduled to go live in January 2010. Further dates will be announced in separate Eurex circulars.          |
