Dalian Commodity Exchange Options Production System Launched

Date 02/07/2015

The options production system of Dalian Commodity Exchange (DCE) was formally put on line on the 23rd, when the members and the seats had normal access and the system ran smoothly. The official launching of the system means that the trading system of DCE is capable of supporting the options business.

DCE started its new trading interface after the closing of the trading on June 19 (Friday), and carried out the tests simulating actual trading situations on the morning of the 20th, in a bid to verify the availability of the new trading interface. The testing was smooth in the process with correct settlement data generated, laying a sound foundation for the on-line operation of the option production system. By the 23rd, the new trading interface had been used by 263 seats.

A DCE official said that after the options production system was put on line, the options business would not be launched for the time being, and it would be officially introduced after the options products are approved. After the new interface was put into use, the original trading interface and the new one would run in parallel for some time, and the units that have not completed the upgrading of the interface should complete the work as soon as possible.
