The Optiq Programme will replace the current Euronext core trading applications (UTP/CCG/XDP) for the Cash (Regulated Market and Warrants) and Derivative markets. Following customer feedback, the migration to Optiq will start with the Market Data module for Cash and
Derivatives. As such, the new Optiq MDG will be connected to the Euronext Cash and Derivatives UTP matching engines in phase 1, and then to the Optiq matching engines for Cash (phase 2) and then Derivatives (phase 3)

This document provides the summary of changes for the MDG Derivatives segment change, and the associated technical details. This change is being done as a preparatory step for migration of the Derivatives markets to Optiq.

Following this change Euronext Derivatives markets segments will be split as below:

■ Equity Derivatives (EQD)

■ Index Derivatives (IDD)

■ Commodity Derivatives (COM)

■ Financial Derivatives (FID)

This change in advance of Phase 3 implementation willsimplify migration of the Derivatives markets to Optiq. While no major impact is expected, customers are recommended to ensure that no adjustment is required to the list of Services and Channels they subscribe to via SFTI. For more information, please contact your Relationship Manager. SFTI packages, bandwidth and form are not impacted by this change. This change will be transparent for the CCG, Drop copy & clearing, and will not result in any cancellation of overnight orders. This summary outlines impacts for clients consuming MDG for Derivatives markets. For full details of impacts please review the updated MDG documentation.

The purpose of this document is to provide customers with a description of the Optiq order entry conformance script, with scenarios for connectivity, functional data conformance and high availability tests for the Phase 2 of the migration to Optiq covering the Euronext Cash markets. Please note that the DR(disaster recovery) testing will be detailed in a future version. 

This document sets out the client messages specifications for Optiq OEG using the FIX 5.0 format. More specifically, it describes the contents of administrative and application messages and provides detailed field descriptions.

Euronext is introducing new Large-in-Scale (LiS) features on the Central Order Book. The service will create more opportunities to execute LIS orders, leveraging existing liquidity in the central order book. As soon as market participants implement the necessary modifications required to use the model, including conformance tests, they will immediately be able to benefit from the existing invisible liquidity. The new service is now available for testing on the External User Acceptance (P-EUA) test platform. The launch in Production is planned for the first quarter of 2019.

1) Why it is present in our Market

2) Description of the service and its principles

4) Advantages & benefits of the services as well as recommendation of use

The aim of the document is to provide a practical overview of functionalities and approaches to Derivatives trading in Optiq. At the end of the document technical and architectural topics are also covered to provide a general overview. This document is the view of the expected implementation of Optiq for Derivatives markets. This document will be updated with further information providing additional details1 . In case of any functional changes they will be highlighted and communicated to clients in due course. A number of functionalities described in this document are subject to regulatory approval, and confirmation of implementation will be provided in due time.

This document provides an overview of the exchange of messages between the Optiq Order Entry Gateway (OEG), the clients’ systems and the Market Data Gateway (MDG). It includes:

■ Typical trading scenarios and the corresponding public and private messages for these scenarios, and the different cases they may cover;

■ The names and IDs of the messages sent;

■ The events that trigger the transmission of messages.

This overview is meant to provide a description of the main structures and concepts used within this document, to facilitate the review of the individual topics and cases covered within.

The messages that are sent between trading members and Optiq are referred to as private messages whereas the messages that are sent by the external broadcasting systems are referred to as public messages.

Private messages are exchanged exclusively between the clients’ system and the Optiq matching engine via order entry gateways, for example to request information from the system or to issue a command (e.g., enter an order). Private messages are also sent back by Optiq via order entry gateways (OEGs) to the client’s system to provide the information requested, or confirm that a command has been successfully executed (or not), as well as to notify of trades, etc.

Public messages are sent by Optiq via MDG to provide to all subscribing clients with anonymized Market data, such as orders entered, best limits, trades executed, market events, updated limits, etc.

The diagrams in this document express representative examples of message sequences and other scenarios can be figured out from the ones described inside that document. The details of the message contents may vary depending on the example.

The diagrams also endeavour to represent as close to reality as possible the sequence in which events and steps occur, and messages are sent. This introduction provides indication when such cases are not feasible to represent faithfully due to complexity of graphical representation.

For a complete description of the messages and their fields, please refer to the associated document:
