Trader Registration

Please find below the forms required to register Responsible Persons, Member Connectivity Administrators and to request additional Individual Trading Mnemonics and View Only Keys.

Responsible Persons

In order to conduct business on LIFFE CONNECT® a Member is required to register at least one Responsible Person with the Exchange for each NYSE Liffe market of which it is a Member. All business must be submitted to LIFFE CONNECT® under an Individual Trading Mnemonic (“ITM”) assigned to a Responsible Person.

A Responsible Person is an individual registered to the Exchange who, amongst other things, is responsible for ensuring as far as possible that business conducted under his ITM(s) complies with the Exchange’s Rules and Trading Procedures. A Responsible Person may be a trader himself and / or a trading supervisor whereby other staff (or clients) submit (or route) business through his ITM(s).

A Member must ensure that it has registered sufficient number of Responsible Persons (and ITMs) for the nature and scale of business being conducted. In this regard, a Member must satisfy itself that any Responsible Person it registers is able to meet its obligations as set out in the Rules and Trading Procedures (particularly where he will be supervising a number of business flows).

For further information about the obligations of a Responsible Person please refer to Euronext Rules Book 1, Section 2202, ‘Responsible Persons and Traders’ http://www.euronext.com/tools/documentation/wide/documents-3388-EN.html and the NYSE Liffe Trading Procedures, Section 3, “Trading on LIFFE CONNECT® http://www.euronext.com/handbook/section/section-21777-EN.html

Individual Trading Mnemonics

A Responsible Person will be assigned at least one Individual Trading Mnemonic (“ITM”). An ITM is a trading access identifier assigned to a Responsible Person under which business is submitted to LIFFE CONNECT®.

The registering Member may request more than one ITM be assigned to any of his Responsible Persons; for example, to assist the Member and the Responsible Person in identifying and maintaining separate flows of business being conducted under his ITMs.

Member Connectivity Administrators (MCA)

Members will also need to register a Member Connectivity Administrator (“MCA”).

An MCA is responsible for registering Responsible Persons and maintaining the Member’s register of Responsible Persons details, including the associated ITMs. Only an MCA can receive the ITMs and the relevant decrypting passwords and User IDs. An MCA may request extra ITMs for additional trading activity. It is recommended that a Member nominates at least two MCAs.

View Only Keys

An MCA may also request view only keys to assist the Member in observing trading activity on the relevant NYSE Liffe market(s) for which access has been approved.

Bclear Responsible Person User Identification Registration

To conduct business using the Bclear service it is necessary for a Member to register at least one Responsible Person in respect of such business. A Responsible Person can be registered by the Member on both LIFFE CONNECT® and Bclear with the same ITM, but a separate User ID will be issued for Bclear.

Further information about registering for the Bclear service can be found under “Go Live Preparation” on the OTC services section of the website -http://www.euronext.com/landing/landingGeneral-4562-EN.html
