Monitoring

CME Europe will review transactions that qualify for the incentive programs in order to check that trades have a genuine economic rationale and are exposed to market risk. Trades may be discounted from the calculation of total volume for an individual firm where trading is believed to have been initiated for the primary purpose of satisfying the requirements of an incentive programme.
