CME Globex Trader Decommission
With the expansion of User-Defined Spreads functionality to all CME options products, CME
Globex Trader will no longer provide access to options markets. The limitation of CME Globex Trader
to futures markets, aging functionality and infrastructure, and the declining user base have led to
the decision to decommission CME Globex Trader. Traders may replace CME Globex Trader with a
third-party application,
CME EOS Trader or
CME Galax-C
® handhelds to access CME Globex markets.
CME anticipates CME Globex Trader will be decommissioned by the end of 2007. The
decommission timeline for CME Globex Trader follows:
| November 5, 2006 |
CME FX options removed |
| November 19, 2006 |
CME Equity options removed |
| December 4, 2006 |
CME Commodity options removed |
| Q2 2007 |
