`
`AURORA” ENIIANCES MEMBERS’
`
`-OPPORTUNITIES
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Local traders are important to the viability
`of futures markets. Their role is invaluable
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`in maintaining liquidity in CBOT product
`
`
`
`markets—providing narrow bid/ask spreads
`
`
`
`
`
`
`and consistent trading activity so market
`
`
`
`
`
`participants can execute their trades quickly
`
`
`and efficiently.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Increasing efficiency of trading opera-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`tions. AURORAT“ has been designed as a
`
`
`
`
`component of a fully integrated electronic
`
`
`
`
`
`
`trading support system for the futures
`
`
`
`
`
`industry. In addition, three leading tech-
`
`
`
`nological firms—Apple Computer, Texas
`
`
`
`
`
`Instruments, and 'Ia.ndem—have been
`
`
`
`
`
`
`involved in the development of this system.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`This will not change with the addition of the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`AURORA” system. In fact, this relationship
`will be enhanced because:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`AURORA“ will increase local trader
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`opportunities because of expanded trading
`hours.

`
`E08”: AN INTEGRAL PAIIT OF AURORA“
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`E03” is the Chicago Board of Trade’s state-
`
`
`
`
`
`of-the-art order entry/order delivery system,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`designed to receive and confirm orders with
`
`
`
`
`
`
`improved efficiency and greater savings in
`cost and time.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Traders will adapt to the computer-based
`
`
`
`
`
`
`system easily because trading on AURORA”
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`is user-friendly. It is easy to understand and
`
`
`
`easy to use.
`'
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`' Training time will be reduced because of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the similarities to the physical trading pit
`mechanics.

`AURORA” EIIDVIDES EXEELLENT
`
`
`
`MEMBER FIRM INCENTIVES
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Member firms also will benefit from using
`
`AURORA” by:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Retaining and enhancing current
`
`
`
`brokerage firm/client relationships. With
`
`
`
`
`
`
`AURORA?“ the brokerage firm sales force
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`‘continues to act as an important link between
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Customers and the exchange. Firms will
`
`
`
`
`
`retain the necessary credit controls over
`customer accounts.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Enhancing servicing capabilities for
`
`
`
`
`clients. International customers will appre-
`
`
`
`
`
`ciate the increased -trading opportunities.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Firms will be able to provide their clients
`
`
`
`
`with 24-hour risk-management coverage in
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the most actively traded interest rate
`futures contracts in the world.

`
`
`
`
`The pathway to both the physical trading pit
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`at the CBOI‘ and AURORA?‘ EOS“ _is the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`vehicle by which customers’ orders will
`
`
`
`
`reach CBOT broker-members. As a compo-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`nent of the CBOT fully integrated electronic
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`trading system, E03” can be used to transfer
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`orders from one type of trading session to
`another.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`EOSI” designed in conjunction with Bridge
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Market Data, Inc, will benefit the brokerage
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`firm by speeding delivery of the customer’s
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`order to the pit and returning the confirma-
`tion to the customer.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`For example, an outside customer calls his
`account executive with an order and that
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`order is electronically transmitted directly to
`an AURORA“ broker. The electronic trans-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`mission of the order speeds the process and
`reduces the chance of error.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`After the order has been executed, the trade
`
`
`
`
`confirmation is transmitted electronically to
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the brokerage firms account executive as
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`well as its back office for processing and to
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the Board of Trade Clearing Corporation for
`
`clearing.

`
`
`MARKET EFFICIENCY
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`AURORA” is an electronic trading system
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`that allows traders to view and participate
`
`
`
`
`
`in a competitive market. Its trade execution
`
`
`
`
`
`
`speed -is measured in nanoseconds, with a
`
`
`
`
`
`reaction time closely approximating that
`associated with the auction market itself.
`
`
`
`
`
`Trade execution is standard for all time
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`zones.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Information necessary for traders is
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`presented on the screen in the form of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`objects, colors, and text. The re-creation of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the competitive pit provides an incentive for
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`locals to trade, maintaining the liquidity that
`
`
`
`
`
`
`is critical to auction market trading.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`The system also provides market trans-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`parency. Participants can see who is in the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`market and who is executing trades with
`
`
`
`
`whom—an important component of a com-
`
`
`petitive market.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Simply stated, the electronic auction market
`
`
`
`
`
`
`provides the essential information that is
`now available on the floor. AURORA” also
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`provides the following additional features:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`AUR0RA""identif1es the total quantity of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the bids and offers by contract month.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`AURORA” keeps a rrmning tabulation of
`
`
`
`
`the traders’ own positions.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`AURORA?“ provides easy access for
`
`
`
`
`trading indifferent contract months.
`
`
`
`
`
`AURORA” provides calendar-spread
`
`
`quote displays.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`AURORA” fives members the flexibility
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`to set up their own screen to view whatever
`
`
`
`
`
`
`trading arenas, price displays, and other con-
`
`
`
`
`
`tracts they want to see.
`
`
`
`
`AURORA” provides trade information
`
`
`
`
`
`directly to the Clearing Corporation.
`
`
`
`AURORA“ reduces the risk for all market
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`participants because there are no
`unmatched trades

`
`
`MllLTIPl.E TRADING ABEIIAS The largest area
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`of the screen is composed of the trading
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`arena. There is one trading arena per con-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`tract month. In this screen, the front month
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`is being viewed. If the back months are be-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`ing viewed, up to four contract months can
`
`
`be displayed.

`
`MEMBER ECGNS The red circles represent
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`members who are offering to sell and the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`blue squares represent members who are

`
`
`bidding to buy. The red icon is referred to as
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`a member-o_1j“e_r7?ng icon and the blue icon is
`
`
`
`
`
`referred to as a member-biddimg icon. Icons
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`list the member’s acronym and the quantity
`available. The bids and offers on the screen
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`are at the market or the icons would not
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`appear on the screen.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Note: Member icons appear in random loca-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`tions in all trading arenas. For example, a
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`trader’s icon may appear in the center of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`broker l’s trading arena and in the left cor-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`ner of broker 2’s trading arena. Also, the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`trader’s icon will appear in a different loca-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`tion every time it appears on broker l’s
`screen.

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`There is room on the screen to list up to 10
`
`
`
`
`
`contract month price displays, allowing par-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`ticipants to view current bids and offers and

`
`IIIIOUT MARKET BOX The in/out market box
`lists acronyms of those members entering

`is on the bid or offered side of the market.
`

`
`
`TRADING ON AURORA”: THE MEBHANICS
`7
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`There is a lot of information available on the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`AURORA” trading screen. This is because all
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`of the components that make up physical
`
`
`
`
`
`trading are represented electronically on the
`
`
`
`
`screen. Furthermore, a small mechanical
`
`
`
`
`
`doviogs movement on a desk, other-wise
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`known as the mouse, allows traders to move
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`to different areas of the trading screen, just
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`as if they were Walking around the trading
`
`flool-_
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`So, in essence, the trader will not lose the
`
`
`
`
`
`hands-on approach to trading that is ava.iJ-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`able in the auction market setting. One
`added benefit is that traders can view activ-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`ity in other areas of the tradirig pit, not just
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the contract month in which they are
`
`positioned
`»
`
`In summary, AURORA” means “flexibility.”
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Let’s run through an example of how a
`trader would use AURORA‘?

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`(USH) is l0'bid for 235 contracts and offered
`
`
`
`
`
`at 11 for 235 contracts.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`It is important to note that only member
`
`
`
`
`
`
`icons will appear on the AURORA“ trading
`
`
`
`
`
`
`screen. In addition, the only member icons
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`that appear on the screen are those for
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`members who are bidding on the bid side of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the market and those for members who are
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`offering on the offer side of the market. A
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`member may be logged into the pit, but
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`unless that member is in the market, his
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`icon will not appear in the trading arena.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`member JP is bidding 200 contracts, member
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`TEN is bidding 100, and member TJC is
`
`
`
`offering 200 contracts
`
`_
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`In order for member TJC to hit member
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`TEN'5 bid for 100 contracts, ‘I30 simply
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`points at TEN’s icon and clicks and the trade
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`is made. When the trade takes place, an
`
`
`
`
`
`
`arrow will appear connecting the two
`
`
`
`
`
`
`member icons as shown. Every Board of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Trade member who is logged into the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Treasury bond pit will see the arrow
`
`
`
`indicating the trade.

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`The March Treasury note contract (TYH) is
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`now in the trading arena. In addition, the

`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`‘TRADING EXPERTISE: STILL A NECESSITY
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`A broker appears in the trading arena just
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`like any other Board of Trade member who
`is on the bid or offered side of the market-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Highlighted on the screen is broker—member
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`TCO, who is bidding 10 for 25 contracts
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`After broker TCO fills 25 at 10, a brokerage
`firm delivers an outside customer order to
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`its broker—in this case, broker~member TCO
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`—via EOSE“ Broker TCO then uses his exper-
`tise to fill the order in the auction market.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`As you can see, the market is currently 10
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`bid for 785 contracts, 1,380 offered at 11.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Suppose broker TCO has just received a
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`market order to buy 2,000 contracts. With
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`AURORA?“ broker TCO has the same number
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`of choices for filling the order as TCO has in
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the physical trading pit today. TCO can buy
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the 1,380 offers at 11 and bid 11 for the re-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`mainder; TCO can join the current bid of 10
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`for any portion of his order; or TCO can
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`selectively take some of the 11 offers and .
`
`
`
`
`
`wait. Obviously, broker 'ICO’s trading exper-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`tise is still very valuable to customers when
`
`
`using AURORA?‘

`THE CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE:
`
`
`
`MEETING THE CHALLENGE
`
`
`
`AROUND THE CLOCK
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`For more than 142 years, the Chicago Board
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`of Trade has had a history of demonstrated
`
`
`
`
`
`effectiveness in responding to the economic
`
`
`
`
`needs of the marketplace.
`
`
`
`
`
`_
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`For example, in fulfilling its goal of provid-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`ing a forum for price risk management, the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`CBOT first expanded its trading day by 3%
`
`
`
`
`
`
`hours to better serve market participants in
`other international time zones.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Even with this move to expand its trading
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`day, however, the CBCTI‘ could not make its
`
`
`
`
`Iisk—ma.nagement capabilities available to all
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`business managers i.n all time zones. Global
`
`
`
`
`
`
`market participants were limited by the fact
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`that the hours of physical open outcry
`
`
`
`
`
`
`trading did not coincide with their regular
`
`
`
`
`
`business hours in many instances.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Electronic trading seemed the sound, logical
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`answer, but no one system existed that
`
`
`
`
`
`offered the liquidity, cost—effectiveness, and
`
`
`
`
`
`
`integrity of the open outcry auction market.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`'Ib meet these particular needs in today’s
`
`
`
`
`
`highly competitive worldwide market, the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Chicago Board of Trade developed AURORA”
`
`
`
`
`
`
`——the only global electronic trading system
`
`
`
`
`
`that replicates the actual physical market-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`place. A link to every time zone in the world
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`—there is no question that AURORA?“ will
`
`
`
`
`
`
`meet the growing demands of the
`
`
`worldwide marketplace.
