CME ClearPort API supports submission of OTC FX trades to be cleared by CME Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO). The Forwards trades are cleared as OTC FX Forwards (not futures) with the trades held at the original trade price. Positions are held on a gross basis with optional netting. Non Deliverable Forwards (NDFs) will settle to the EMTA recommended official Fix in each pair, while the Cash Settled Forwards (CSFs) will use the WMR 4pm London Fix.
