Infrastructural Features - NG, CG, PRS/PRS+ and OMD Connection Availability Roadmap 12
Infrastructural Features Central Gateways (CGs) as primary access point Located on High Speed Message Bus for low latency order transactions Cost reduction for Participants by not needing to purchase, house and maintain their own Network Gateways Redundant Central Gateways at HKEx available for backup No Market Data available Market Makers must submit quotes via Central Gateways 13
Infrastructural Features Network Gateways (NGs) as transitional access points Network Gateways available only during transition period (tentatively ends in 2017) Conflated market data can still be subscribed by OAPI programs via Network Gateways No price data for underlying (e.g. stocks and indices) Only 1 Network Gateway per physical location HKEx provides Backup Gateways at HKEx to cater for Network Gateway failure subject to a fee 14
Infrastructural Features - Comparison of CGs and NGs Latency in order & quote processing CG Lower NG Higher Market Data Subscription by OAPI* No Yes Need for EPs / CPs to maintain their own gateway hardware / software Market Maker Order / Quote Submission No Yes Yes No Trading Workstation Connection No Yes DCASS Server Connection Yes Yes * EPs should plan for ultimate subscription of market data either directly through the OMD Platform or indirectly through other Information Vendors 15
Infrastructural Features HKATS Trading Workstation Trading Workstations available only during transition period (tentatively ends in 2017) Must connect via Network Gateways at Participant premise Market data is available for a limited number of series (exact number will be advised by HKEx in due course and updated from time to time) EPs are advised to commence planning for switching to OAPI from Trading Workstation 16
Infrastructural Features Hardware & Software Requirements Existing hardware for CLICK Workstations can be redeployed for Trading Workstations New hardware / software requirements for various devices (e.g. Network Gateways, Trading Workstations, DCASS Servers and Terminals) due to anticipated increase in market volume Please refer to Appendix A for preliminary requirements 17
Infrastructural Features - Preliminary Bandwidth Requirements In order to support the capacity growth in the derivatives market with HKATS and DCASS Upgrade, the minimum bandwidth requirements are listed below : Usage Gateway Connections HKATS Connections only DCASS Connections only CG (Central Gateway) 3 Mbps 3 Mbps 1 NG (Network Gateway) 10 Mbps 3 Mbps 1 * Bandwidth requirement for NG supporting both HKATS and DCASS connections is 20Mbps, which is the next available tier beyond 10Mbps 1 3 Mbps is optimal for supporting one DCASS Server plus up to three non-report download related OAPI applications 18
Infrastructural Features Contingent Arrangement Backup host servers installed at HKEx secondary data centre Trading will be suspended when the need to failover the matching engine to secondary data centre arises Central order book will be emptied upon matching engine failover to secondary data centre Order cancelled during the failover can be re-entered to HKATS upon resumption of trading Backup Trading Workstations will not be available at the HKEx SOS Centre 19
Agenda 4 Functional Enhancements 20
Functional Enhancements - Tailor-Made Combination (TMC) EPs can create their own combination series (i.e the TMC series) according to the pre-defined strategies in real-time with futures and/or options series TMC series will be displayed to all EPs for trading. Once the TMC is created, the EPs can trade it as it is a standard series, e.g. enter, execute, change and cancel order EP must submit a TMC order when creating the TMC series Non-standard Combination and Bulletin Board (BB) are no longer available (TMC is used as a replacement for Bulletin Board (BB) in Genium) 21
Functional Enhancements - Tailor-Made Combination (cont ) TMC series and order will be displayed in Price Information window and Price Quotation window with the outright series Same strategies or reverse strategies will be identified and the orders will be converted to the existing TMC series EPs can send Quote Request on TMC series Once the TMC order is executed, trades will be reported in respective legs (same as today s Standard Combination trade) with deal source TMC All TMC series and TMC outstanding orders will be removed after day end Especially useful for options rollover 22
Functional Enhancements - Tailor-Made Combination (cont ) Maximum number of legs is 4 Leg ratio equal to or less than 4 Legs are on same underlying with same contract size No bait generation OAPIs will be certified to have an order sent together with every TMC series created 23
Functional Enhancements - Tailor-Made Combination (cont ) 24
Functional Enhancements - Comparison Between TMC in Genium and BB in CLICK TMC BB 1. TMC orders are listed in Central Order Book 2. Auto matching according to price/time priority BB orders are listed in separate BB Order book No auto matching 3. With Quote Request Without Quote Request 4. Opposite strategy will be converted to bid/ ask order 5. Can select Open/ Close position Opposite strategy will display as another order along BB Order book Open position by default 25
Functional Enhancements - Comparison Between TMC in Genium and BB in CLICK TMC BB 6. No bait order No bait order 7. Max. ratio between legs: 4 Max. ratio between legs: 4 8. Max. 4 legs Max. 8 legs 9. Deal price is assigned by system Deal price is assigned by EP 10. Deal source: TMC Deal source: BB 11. Only allow Pre-defined strategy Accept any combinations of legs 26
Functional Enhancements Enhanced Order Size Limit Current Genium Enhancement Block Trades for standard series Block Trades for standard series All Order Types (for standard series and Combo series) All Order Types for standard series All Order Types for combo series 27
