The Eurex Block Trade Service supports the off-book trading of standard Eurex products. Buyers and sellers can execute order information into the Eurex® system without execution risk.
The Eurex Block Trade Service is available for specific Eurex products and a minimum number of traded contracts.
Option strategies or option volatility strategies on the basis of Eurex options listed in the table are also admitted to the Block Trade Service. The Minimum Block Trade Size of option strategies or option volatility strategies is equivalent to the Minimum Block Trade Size of the respective underlying option contracts of the strategy.
The TES Blocktrade Import within the T7 Block Trade Entry Service further enhances the efficiency in entering order information. This function enables the import of order information for multiple Block Trades directly from a file in CSV format into the Eurex® system. The latest TES Bulk templates can be found in the T7 Trader GUI in the "Help" section. Please see also latest T7 Derivatives Markets Trader Admin and Clearer GUI Manual chapter on "TES: Bulk Load (Import)" for further information.
Block Trades in Futures or Options where the traded quantity exceeds the product's Non-disclosure Limit (NDL) may remain undisclosed intraday if the initiating user specifies that the TES trade is not to be published to the market in real time. The NDLs are published in the products' TES Profiles for simple instruments and strategies are always available on the next trading day in the file "YYYYMMDD_tradeEntryServiceProfiles.csv" on the Eurex website under the following path:
Data > Trading files > T7 Entry Service parameters
Non-disclosed trades are reported in TE910 and become visible in the T7 Trader GUI on the following day.
A list of all products admitted for the Block Trade Service incl. Minimum Block Trade sizes can be found in the Contract Specifications for Futures Contracts and Options Contracts at Eurex Deutschland, chapter 3.2.1.
