Eurex Exchange Readiness Newsflash | Next Generation ETD Contracts updates: Additional supporting events in simulation
Dear Eurex Participant,
We would like to announce the following activities in the simulation environment in order to facilitate Next Generation ETD Contracts testing. As announced in Eurex Circular 036/22, the project goes live on 6 February 2023.
- Simulation: 6 December 2021 (first wave of contracts introduced in February 2022)
- Production: 6 February 2023
Selected products with different expiries are available in simulation, as announced in Eurex Exchange Readiness Newsflash from 1 September 2022. Due to market demand and aiming to provide Trading and Clearing participants with additional testing opportunities, the following events are made available in simulation:
1. Additional batch day (including integrated weekly as well as daily expiries) Friday, 4 November 2022
Friday, 4 November 2022 will be added as a batch day in the simulation environment to simulate a production-like weekly Friday expiry. The 1st weekly November expiration will be changed in the Single Stock Options “AXA” from Thursday, 3 November 2022 to expire on Friday, 4 November 2022. All futures products supporting daily expiring futures contracts (i.e. Single Stock Futures and MSCI Futures) will contain an additional daily contract expiring on Friday, 4 November 2022.
2. Additional corporate action on Tuesday, 8 November 2022
On Tuesday, 8 November 2022, an R-factor corporate action adjustment on Single Stock Options “ROG” and Single Stock Futures “ROGP” with effective date Wednesday, 9 November 2022 will be initiated in the simulation environment. Both products will be adjusted with R-factor of 0,95.

A new Single Stock Futures contract “ROGQ” with standard contract size 100 will be introduced on 10 November 2022 in simulation. The daily expiring contracts can be used as an underlying leg of Options Volatility Strategies in “ROG” replacing the daily expiring contracts of “ROGP”.
3. Weekly Bund option expiry date Friday, 16 December 2022
Third week expiring December contracts for options on Bund futures (OGBL) will shift in simulation from Thursday, 15 December 2022 to Friday, 16 December 2022 to simulate a production-like weekly 3rd Friday expiry. Please note that the monthly expiration for options on Bund futures is always the 4th week of December (therefore the 3rd Friday is a weekly expiry).
Trading and Clearing participants are encouraged to test to ensure a smooth transition to the new Next Generation ETD concept.
