Crossing Parameters
(section 2.6 Eurex Trading Conditions)
(1) Orders and Quotes relating to the same Instrument or Combined Instrument may, in case they could immediately be executed against each other, neither be entered knowingly by an Exchange Trader or several Exchange Traders of an Admitted Company (a “Cross Trade”) nor pursuant to a prior understanding between Exchange Traders of two different admitted companies (a “Pre-Arranged Trade”), unless the conditions according to Paragraph 2 have been fulfilled. The same shall apply for the entry of Orders as part of a Quote.
(2) A Cross Trade or a Pre-Arranged Trade is admissible if a participant in a Cross Trade or a Pre-Arranged Trade Eurex Trading System, announces his intention to execute a corresponding number of Contracts as Cross Trades or Pre-Arranged Trades in the Order Book (“Trade Request”). The buying participant has to ensure that he himself or the selling participant enters the Trade Request. The Order or Quote giving rise to the Cross Trade or Pre-Arranged Trade must be entered one second at the earliest and 121 seconds at the latest after the entry of the Trade Request. Entering a Trade Request without entering the respective Order or Quote is not admissible.
(3) Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply to Transactions consummated during the netting process in an auction (Number 1.4 Paragraphs 2 and Paragraph 3).
(4) The automated entry functionality for Cross Trades or Pre-Arranged Trades of the Eurex Trading System may be used for entering Cross Trades or Pre-Arranged Trades. In this case, announcement and entry of the corresponding Orders pursuant to Paragraph 2 will be automated.
