Notice
ASX confirms that Tailor Made Combinations (TMC) functionality will not be available on the ASX Trade platform prior to the expiry of Exchange Traded Options (ETOs) on 17 December 2020.
To facilitate the expiry and rolling of ETO positions, ASX is providing the following emergency amendment to ASX Operating Rule Procedure 4800 Part B (point 3): Special Crossing of Derivatives Only Combinations, for the period of 15 to 17 December 2020.
The decision to amend the procedure is based on feedback from customers. It will improve the efficiency of completing combination orders in expiry week, in addition to reducing the leg and price risk of dealing in individual series as opposed to the combination as a whole.
ASX continues to work with its technology provider, Nasdaq, and will shortly provide our forward plans on TMC functionality.
