Synthetic Matching for Packs and Bundles in STIR Markets

Eurex is expanding its synthetic matching capabilities, which were introduced with the T7 Release 14.0. This functionality will now include synthetic matching for butterfly and condor strategies in Short-Term Interest Rate (STIR) futures. This enhancement allows incoming orders for these strategies to be matched against a synthetic combination of orders from simple instruments in the order book. The goal is to enhance order book liquidity and transparency in the STIRs market.


It's important to note that synthetic matching will not be supported for packs and bundles. Trading for packs and bundles will continue to operate on a direct matching basis, where orders and quotes only match against others of the same instrument.

Packs and Bundles: No action is required for trading packs and bundles, as the matching logic remains unchanged (direct matching).


Butterflies and Condors: Trading participants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the new synthetic matching functionality for butterfly and condor strategies in the STIR markets. Testing these new scenarios in the simulation environment is recommended to understand the potential for increased matching opportunities.

Decommissioning of Deprecated ETI Order Entry Requests

Five new ETI order management requests were introduced with T7 Release 12.0. The key benefits include:

  • Alignment: Standardized order layouts across all T7 exchanges.
  • Simplicity: Combined simple and complex layouts into a single, unified request.
  • Performance: Optimized field arrangement for greater efficiency and reduced latency.

To take advantage of significant performance improvements and ensure a seamless transition, clients are required to update their order entry software.


Please begin migrating immediately from the deprecated Single- and Multi-Leg requests to the five new requests, which are already active in the production environment.



Sponsored Access –

Wave 2

Following its initial launch, Eurex is upgrading the Sponsored Access (SpA) program in T7 Release 14.1 with new tools for both sponsors and their clients.


  • For Service Providers: The update introduces enhanced risk management and monitoring capabilities. This includes FIX LF Drop Copy for comprehensive order oversight and an improved ETI function to halt a user's trading activity.

  • For User Companies: Users will gain access to the T7 Trader GUI for order and trade management, as well as FIX LF functionality for their own backoffice information.

SpA Service Providers: Service Providers should prepare their systems to integrate the new FIX LF functionalities to enhance their monitoring and risk management capabilities. They should also familiarize themselves with the new stop functionality via ETI.


SpA User Companies: User Companies should prepare to leverage the new T7 Trader GUI for improved order and trade management. They can also utilize the new FIX LF capabilities for their own order information management. It is recommended that both Service Providers and User Companies test these new functionalities in the simulation environment once they become available.
