First Trade Date Monday, June 8, 2015

Trading at Settlement (TAS) is an order type that allows a market participant to buy or sell futures contracts during the trading day equal to the yet-to-be determined settlement price, or at a price up to four ticks above or below that price.

Why TAS

  • Reduce uncertainty related to pricing around settlement
  • Grain elevators and processors may use TAS orders to price forward contracts at or near the settlement value
  • TAS orders offer a transparent alternative to floor based MOC orders, which will no longer be available after July 2

Key Features

  • Available on CME Globex for Grain, Oilseed and Livestock futures
  • Available for outrights and spreads
  • Quotes will be published in real time on the screen throughout the trading day
  • TAS order entry is not allowed prior to the beginning of each group's pre-open state
