Spectra update to v. 6.0 on test

Dear MOEX derivatives market users,

We would like to inform you that starting from 01 March 2018 test environment (T+1) is to update to v 6.0. Planned date for production roll-on is Q2 2018.

What is new in version 6.0:

  1. Unified Collateral Pool functionality (Phase 2) is now supported.

For detailed information, please apply to  - http://nkcbank.ru/UserFiles/File/CK27/Edinyy%20pul%20obespecheniya.pdf

The Phase 2 functionality of Unified Collateral Pool on Derivatives market includes:

  • FX/security underlying asset profile transfer possibility. On transferring a non-Ruble asset profile, the client obtains a collateral security futures position (Bid or Offer) which, depending on profile transfer direction, is equal to that of the given underlying asset.
  • Covered sales. A possibility to contract a sell of the asset included in the collateral structure, with reduced collateral amount.

2. New Risk Management system:

  • Reduced collateral amount for calendar spreads. The Brokerage Firm level is allowed to select a rule for account hierarchy (nett/half net), and a risk measure (nett/half net) for securities. The end clearing account level is only allowed to select a risk measure (nett/half nett) for security, with ‘half nett’ as the default selection. For the Clearing Firm (trade participant) level, the account hierarchy, and risk measure for securities are set as ‘nett’, and are not subject to any change.
  • Concentration limits on Derivatives market. The collateral rate on Derivatives market now depends on position volume, similar to that of FX and Securities markets. For details on new concentration limits and margin rate, please visit the National Clearing Centre website.
  • New rules applied for changing risk parameters on Derivatives market during the clearing session. Cease of automatic limit change; instead, collateral rate change will be applied by NCC decision.
  • New rules applied for changing risk parameters on Derivatives market during trading sessions. The new risk parameters changing model implies asymmetrical limit extension, along with availability to change limit extension rules during a trading session.
  • Removal of restrictions for changing settlement price on Derivatives market. All current restrictions for changing settlement price value and price increment value during the same settlement period are removed.
  • Risk parameters synchronization. Synchronous limit extension for a given underlying asset, on all markets.
  • New pricing model for securities on Derivatives market. Settlement price values for illiquid futures contracts depend on price fluctuation for liquid instruments.
  1. Margining for Settlement accounts (Phase 2):
  • For the Settlement account level, the sole available margining type is nett type, where the Settlement account position accumulates nett positions for all end clearing sections of the given Settlement account.
  • For the Brokerage Firm level, two margining types are available, i.e.:
  • nett type (default), where the Brokerage Firm position accumulates nett positions for all end clearing sections of the given Brokerage Firm;
  • half nett type, where the Brokerage Firm position is equal (in absolute value) to the largest of two values (Buy or Sell) of total amounts for all end clearing sections of the given Brokerage Firm.

To change margin types, a trade participant should submit the appropriate application to NCC.

4. New Brokerage Firm limit set model:

  • In the version 6.0, we offer the fully revamped policy for limit settings of the Brokerage Firm level. The previous ‘donor-recipient’ model (when a Brokerage Firm limits extended due to narrowing the donor Brokerage firm limits) now ceased. Instead, a new model is provided, when a participant is able to set trading, or virtual, Brokerage Firm limits (equal to that of the end clearing sections), where limits can be bound to the collateral, changing in accordance with the collateral depositing/withdrawal. In addition, the new model allows to change limits independently of collateral depositing/withdrawal, with a sole limit change by the value of accrued/written-off variation margin, applied during the clearing session.

5. Closeout sections on special sections of Brokerage Firms:

  • A new closeout section in XXYYLIK format for each Settlement account now added into a section of a special Brokerage Firm. NCC will use this closeout section in case of forced closure of a participant’s position.

6. Changes applied to the Derivatives market trading terminal according to the Unified Collateral Pool (Phase 2) and new risk management system roll-out:

  • Some new functions implied, along with changes in data transmission according to roll-out of the Unified Collateral Pool and new risk management module. Additionally, some improvements and updates made to the graphical user interface of the trading terminal software.
