Cancellation of Carried Orders or Quotes Between Sessions
GTC and GTD orders persist within CFE's trading system between CFE business days. By default, GTC, GTD, and Day orders/quotes persist between multiple trading sessions on the same business day in connection with a holiday. Persisted orders/quotes can be cancelled while the associated product is in a suspended state and during other trading states as described above.
At the end of the scheduled Cancel-Only Period for a product, cancellation requests for persisted orders/quotes in that product will be rejected with reason O = Order known, but cannot be canceled at this time until after the next trading segment when persisted orders/quotes are reloaded on the book. After the orders/quotes are reloaded on the book, they can be cancelled from that time until the end of the scheduled Cancel-Only Period for a product. In other words, the period of time in which persisted orders/quotes cannot be canceled starts at the end of the scheduled Cancel-Only Period for the associated product and ends after the persisted orders/quotes are reloaded on the book, after the system restarts.
Note that port Cancel on Disconnect behavior is in effect from the time persisted orders are reloaded to the book to the end of the Cancel-Only period. Clients may modify this port attribute via the logical port request tool available on the customer web portal.
The Multi-Segment Holiday Day Order Handling port attribute will enable TPHs to designate if Day orders and quotes are cancelled or preserved across holiday trading segments comprising a single business date.
