The GCC may, in its sole discretion, temporarily expand certain risk parameters (e.g. price banding, Velocity Logic) to allow for periods of volatility, such as the release of significant economic numbers. The expanded parameters will revert to standard levels as soon as practicable following the event.

Effective 01/07/2019 Velocity Logic parameters are increased (more restrictive) for Non-RTH trading hours (17:00-6:00 CT), as determined by the GCC.

CME Group Options with Synthetic Underlying Futures

Many of the options available on CME Globex operationally require a synthetic underlying future. A synthetic underlying future is an equivalent position that is defined without the actual components. These options include Calendar Spread Options, Inter-commodity Spread Options, and Options on Futures Strips. The link below provides comprehensive and detailed information regarding each of these options including their CME Globex symbol, description of the available options, and both their synthetic and actual underlying futures symbols.
