Technical Update - Trading Notice Ref: 020620232 - Rulebook update, including IOC interaction with IOIs

02/06/2023 15:04

Dear Participant,

In accordance with our terms of usage, a new Rulebook will be effective from 3 July 2023 and any orders traded on BlockMatch Europe MTF, on or after this date, will be subject to the new Rulebook.

The key changes to the BlockMatch Europe Rulebook are set out as follows:

• Members may elect to allow an Order, Quote or RFQ with a time in force (TIF) instruction of Immediate or Cancel (“IOC") to interact with algorithmic IOIs. When this option is elected, it will mean that :
  • Where a Member has elected that an IOC can interact with algorithmic IOIs and, where there is an eligible contra IOI, the IOC will remain in the system with a TIF of 0.5 seconds; and,
  • Where there is no eligible contra IOI, the IOC will be cancelled immediately by the system.

Please note that Users may use FIX Tag 7098 (MatchInst) to elect whether an IOC can interact with IOIs and that the default interaction of RFQs and Quotes with IOIs is not to interact unless specified.

In addition to the above, the following changes to the Rulebook will be effective from the same date:

• Close price added as an available reference price for RFQs and Quotes;
• At the Close Time in Force instruction added for RFQs and Quotes; and
• Further details of the interaction of match alerts for RFQ IOIs added.

The latest BlockMatch Europe Rulebook is available on https://www.instinet.com/blockmatch-Europe

Should you have any queries regarding this notice, please contact the Technical Support team who can also provide an up to date FIX specification document. The team is available on +49 69 244329715 or eu.techsupport@blockmatch.com.
