CBOT SUCCESSFULLY MOVES TRADING HOST TO CHICAGO Move Provides Greater Transaction Speed October 31, 2005 â The Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT®) announced that it has successfully completed the implementation of its North American Trading Host, moving the site of the trading host for the Exchangeâs electronic trading platform, e-cbot, powered by LIFFE CONNECT®, to Chicago from London. Moving the trading host to Chicago was one of the key initiatives in the Exchangeâs overall technology strategy. The strategyâs main focus included adding new functionalities to e-cbot that increased the speed and efficiency of transactions moving through the system, as well as additional trading capabilities in response to customer demand following the launch of the e-cbot platform in 2004. Moving the trading host to Chicago and extending the hours of operation on e-cbot from 21 to 22 hours were also critical components of the overall rollout strategy.
Am suprised that it was not run from the Philippines or India. Physical location is not important these days. psycho analitics
