1. ETS Overview of ETS Trading System

- FAT Client, executable to install on the PC

- Two installations possible :

- Upgradable (recommended): when there is a new version of the

client, it will automatically perform the upgrade

- Fixed : when there is a new version of the client, the participant

will have to manually perform the upgrade.

ETS


The Upgradable Client is a full client, containing all program logic needed to perform trader actions. The

Upgradable Client is able to update to the latest program logic and will automatically update itself to the

latest version when such code becomes available.

This ensures the client software is always up to par without the need to manually download and install a

newer version.

In order to install the upgradable version, the following option needs to be ticked during the installation

process. Please note that this option is not ticked by default:

Please note that it is not possible to install both the

Fixed and the Upgradable versions at the same time on

the same machine.

Using an Upgradable client on a Citrix platform is not

supported.

1. ETS Installation recommendation - Upgradable version

ETS


Two versions are available:

CT running via WebStart (preferred)

Not installation required

Standalone version

Executable to be installed with Java bundled

2. M7 CT ComTrader Front-end

M7


In case there are troubles running WebStart version of the ComTrader, standalone versions for

windows operation systems – both 32bit and 64bit versions -are also provided.

User can download these versions and run without installing

The standalone package consist of two folders and one or more exe files 7. The content of any files

must not be changed. For 32 bit version, one exe file (ComTrader.exe) is provided. Application is limited

to use 1GB of RAM

For 64 bit version, 3 exe files are provided with:

1 GB RAM version (ComTrader-1G.exe)

2 GB RAM version (ComTrader-2G.exe). To use this version, user must have at least 4 GB

RAM,

And 4 GB RAM version (ComTrader-4G.exe). To use this version, user must have at least 6 GB

RAM.

The standalone package has proper Java version bundled and does not use the WebStart technology.

Therefore it is independent on Java version installed in the user’s computer.

2. M7 CT Using the standalone version

Before a connection can be made to the servers, the Network Settings need to be defined.

After installation, the default Server Address and Server Port require modification into the settings provided

by the exchange.

Enter the following network details:

- Port: 443

- Server address

1. ETS Starting ETS the first time

ETS


Default secure connection

The Trader Client connects using TLS 1.2 with the Exchange

server. Default this is set to enabled.

Proxy connection

The Trader Client can connect over a proxy server that needs

authentication and supports the use of HTTP CONNECT proxy.

The authentication protocol that is supported is the 'http basic

authentication' standard, no other authentication protocols are

currently implemented.

More technically: The proxy protocol used is the 'http

CONNECT tunnel' standard.

When the Trader Client connects to the proxy server it will pop-

up a dialog box that requests the user name and password for

proxy server access.

It is possible to fill in the user name in the ETS trade client

settings panel, so that the proxy user name does not need to be

typed into the dialog every time a trader logs in.

In order to activate HTTP CONNECT Proxy Settings, enable the

corresponding checkbox in the Global Settings.

Limit the IP address

Upon request, the exchange can restrict the connection to

specific IP addressed.

Firewall configuration

If your firewall implements packet inspection, you may need to

disable this functionality for ETS. Some packet inspection

system don’t support the ETS implementation of TLS 1.2.

1. ETS Secure connection

ETS


- User IDs (logins) and passwords are not linked to traders. A User ID can be shared among several

traders of a company (but not at the same time). It is the company’s responsibility to decide if the

password of a User ID can be shared among several traders or if a User ID is to be used only by e

certain trader.

- Initial passwords provided by the exchange are valid 7 days and they must be changed internally in

order to extend their validity to 3 months.

- There is a specific login for the production environment and one for the simulation environment.

Be aware that you have a maximum of three attempts to enter a

correct password.

After the third invalid attempt, your User ID will be blocked from

access until the exchange operator resets your User ID.

Upon written request (email), the exchange can either reset the

tries left (so the current password remains valid) or provide a

new password by email.

The request should come only from an authorized trader.

1. ETS Users and passwords

ETS


Once you enter your User ID, click on the Connect button or press ENTER.

The Upgradable Client will perform a version check.

One of two things can happen, depending on the availability of newer versions:

Option 1:

If no newer version is detected, the login sequence will proceed after which the Main Tool will be

presented.

Option 2:

If a newer version is detected, the newer version is automatically fetched from the exchange server.

This is indicated with the 'Fetching update for' message.

The newer version will be downloaded

automatically, and installed. Depending on the

internet speed and size of the download, this

process can take a short while.

This procedure requires a restart of the

Upgradable Client once to execute the update, for

which you will be prompted in a dialog.

1. ETS Connection to the upgradable client

M7 What is the Message Interface?

The Message Interface (API) is:

a communication channel which can be used by the market participant to send/receive specially

formatted standardized messages to/from M7

an additional optional access, ComTrader remains available

an interface against which the market participants can program a software.

The Message Interface (API) is not: an application which can be used as such, a software has to be

programmed first by an IT service in order to use it.

M7


M7 Message Interface functionalities (I)

Communication with the system by:

Receiving in real time updated information from M7 :

Market Data (Order Book/Own Order/Own Trade)

Reference Data (Market status/Trading limit)

Interacting with M7 :

Order Management (access to the market)

Reference Data (Market status/Trading limit)

Use of the above listed functionalities is up to the market participants who have to design and implement

by their own their applications, depending on individual needs

The implementation done by the market participants can either be:

Read-only (no interaction with the market)

Or read-write (interaction with the market, via order management)

M7


M7 Message Interface functionalities (II)

The Message Interface (API) allows the market participants to have access to the same data as

through the ComTrader access

The data are provided via the Message Interface (API) with no delay compared to the ComTrader

access

The market participants can build a software which fully responds to their identified needs

Several uses of the Message Interface (API) can be performed, such as :

Quote machine

Back office application

GUI (Graphical User Interface)

Interface with own internal systems

etc ..

M7


M7 IT details

The M7 Public Message Interface allows participants to communicate with the M7 System via a

programmable interface

The communication with the M7 System is based on Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) as

transport layer, while the messages are formatted in XML

Before an application is released into production the market participant or its provider must perform tests in

simulation, covering all functionalities of the application

Client A

Client B

Client C

AMQP Server M7

System

Technical architecture

M7


M7 Security Aspects

All communication between client and AMQP server is encrypted using TLS 1.2 protocol

Client and server certificates are used to establish a trusted connection

The client certificate:

complies to X.509v3 specification,

uses key length of 2048 bits,

subject contains an unique identifier as the Common Name,

is signed by Deutsche Börse CA,

is provided in format PKCS#12

Client actions are checked by the AMQP server:

Exchanges and queues configured by the client are monitored by AMQP server

AMQP server checks if a client has the proper rights when he sends inquiry or order management

request (This ensures no client can access confidential information)

M7


Recommendations

Considering the extensive functionalities already available in ETS and M7 clients, it is recommended

for the participants interested in implementing the API for ETS and/or M7 to wait after go-live, having

therefore the time:

• To build a return on experience based on clients functionalities and to refine the need for an API

• To compare it to the required efforts to implement and to maintain an API

If API is strongly needed by the participants, using the service of a certified ISV is the recommended

option.

List of certified ISVs including contact details are available on our website:
