As derivable from its name one or more trades can be transferred. The transfer is always a transfer to a different Clearing Member ID. A trade transfer always terminates the existing trade and re-opens a new trade with the same attributes and a new trade id.
A trade transfer can be performed via the Eurex OTC Clear GUI (Production/Simulation). It is the same process for both environments.
