Term
Standard - up to 6 months: The three nearest successive calendar months and the following quarterly month of the March, June, September and December cycle thereafter.
Calendar months: The maturity month of the underlying futures contract is the quarterly month following the expiration month of the option.
Quarterly months: The maturity month of the underlying futures contract and the expiration month of the option are identical.
OGBL: In addition to the standard expirations, the five next weeks for the first, second, third, fourth and fifth week of the following maturity month with a weekly options expiration. In the expiration week of the standard option series, no additional weekly expiration will be available.
Between Christmas and New Year's Eve basically no expirations are available for trading as well.
Last trading day
Standard: Last trading day is the last Friday prior to the first calendar day of the option expiration month, followed by at least two exchange days prior to the first calendar day of the option expiration month.
OGBL: In addition to the standard expirations, last trading day is the Friday of the respective expiration week, if this is an exchange day; otherwise the exchange day immediately preceding that day.
Unless at least two exchange days lie between the last Friday of a month and the first calendar day of the expiration month, the last trading day is the Friday preceding the last Friday. If this Friday is not an exchange day, the exchange day immediately preceding that Friday is the last trading day. An exchange day within the meaning of this exception is a day, which is both an exchange day at the Eurex Exchanges and a federal workday in the U.S.
If the preceding exchange day is not in the same calendar month as the Friday of the expiration week, the last trading day shall be the exchange day following the Friday of the expiration week.
If the last trading day lies between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, then the Friday preceding that day is the last trading day.

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.
