Please note: from Monday 7th December the auction duration period has been reduced from 5 minutes to 30 seconds in MTA to mirror Production.

PTT auction functionality will be deployed into LMEsmart MTB on Thursday 10th December and the environment will be unavailable until Friday 11th December . MTB will keep the 5 minute PTT auction period for testing purposes until further notice.

To initiate an auction, trades must contain:

• Venue – Inter-office
•  Category – Normal or Giveup Executor/Clearer
•  Price Type – Current
•  Product listed on the LIS table
•  Volume under the LIS threshold
•  Both sides of the trade must have Commodity Derivatives Indicator set to “No”

• Auction period: 30 seconds
• Participating bids and offers should contain the below:
  o Venue – Inter-office
  o Category – Normal
  o Price Type – Current
  o Relevant prompt/s for the auction
  o Relevant price/s for the auction
  o Auction ID (enter into the Public Reference field)
  o Relevant Trade time
  o Counterparty ‘AUC’

• If one side of the below trade types are cancelled, both sides will be cancelled to prevent matching with auction participants:
  o Client crosses
  o Give ups (member to member and client crosses)
•  Members can also use their member test counterparties to test auction initiations and auction participation
•  LIS levels: (TTM_0_1Y = TOM to 1 Year forward, TTM_1_2Y = 1 Year forward to 2 Years forward, etc

• Carry trades that straddle multiple Time to maturity buckets will be categorised by the maturity bucket with the lowest LIS threshold.
• Options and TAPOs are currently not considered for PTT
• If members wish to test on LMEsmart but do not want to initiate an auction, trades entered with the below will not initiate an auction:
  o Trades with higher lots than the LIS levels detailed above
  o Trade with categories other than “Normal” or “Giveup Executor/Clearer”
  o Trades with Commodity Derivatives Indicator set to “Yes” (only one side of the trade needs to contain this for the whole trade to not be considered for PTT)

Important: As per Notice 20/169

LMEselect, LMEselectMD and LMEsource applications in MTB environment will not be available for Members and other market participants to perform their own system/software testing from 03 August 2020 until further notice.
