    Click on the torch icon to select your instument(7) or hand pointing down (6), double click the one you want then right click the month you're after - MD trader - to bring up a ladder. Right click in the centre of the ladder - properties - to set your max quantity then back on the ladder type in your default clip on the white squares to the left. Click opposite the red offer to lift at market or opposite the blue bids to hit market. Use the P button on the keyboard to adjust your clip if you are getting partial filled in the queue.

    CBOT Product Migration Impact on X_TRADER®


    In January 2008, the CME Group will begin migrating CBOT products from the e-cbot platform to CME Globex®. The current migration schedule is as follows:

    · January 12, 2008: CBOT Agricultural and Dow products; MGEX and KCBT products
    · January 26, 2008: CBOT Interest Rate products


    Note: The CBOT Metals products are not currently slated to migrate to CME Globex®. The CBOT metals will continue to trade on the e-cbot platform through June 2008.


    TT has released a new TT CBOT Gateway to provide access to CBOT products on CME Globex®.


    X_TRADER® Impact

    All X_TRADER® workstations that currently trade e-cbot products will be impacted by the CBOT Migration to CME Globex®.


    · Customers must ensure that all X_TRADER® workstations have been upgraded to version 7.4.6.11 or higher.

    · New workspaces will need to be created or existing workspaces must be modified by using the process outlined in the attached document.

    Additional details can be found in the attached document. For additional information and for assistance with creating workspaces for the CBOT migration, please contact your TT Account Manager or the CSC.

    TT 6.x Platform Decommission Date – April 30th, 2008


    Effective April 30th, 2008, TT will discontinue support of all 6.x versions of its software. No 6.x TT license files will be extended beyond this date. In addition, all 6.x versions have been pulled from the Customer Portal.


    Approximately 98% of TT licenses are running on the 7.x platform. For the small number of customers who have not yet completed the upgrade to 7.x, TT Technical Account Managers (TAMs) and TTNET will assist with the migration.


    As of May 1st, all customers must be running only TT 7.x software.
