NIBA Members:

You may have received a direct communication from the CME Group or read recent National Introducing Brokers Association (NIBA) LinkedIn posts regarding the exchange's intent to raise market data fees. As the new policy is currently written, it will affect each of us and our customers.

The NIBA has requested a face-to-face meeting with the CME Group in order to better understand their action and more importantly -- to express our members' concerns.

We need your input. Please review the CME Group announcement and related links below:

Then send your comments, questions and suggestions to melinda@futuresrep.com or post in the following NIBA LinkedIn forum.

Include information on the effect the new fees will have on your business -- estimated costs, possible effects on trading volume, if you will, or can, consider alternative markets for your customers' needs, and more.

We need your comments by 9AM Monday, Dec 2, 2013. They will be the basis for a meeting between NIBA Board Members and the CME Group. The increased fee charges are due to become effective March 1, 2014. We will publish the results of the upcoming meeting.

Thank you,
Melinda Schramm
Chairperson, NIBA

All products from the Small Exchange have the same minimum tick...

Chairman Letter for February 2013

Dear Members - If you think endless snow storms and wind chills below zero have gotten you pretty far down, don't even look at the new and proposed regulation discussed below. Over at the NFA, fines are now in place for registrants, including IBs, who are late filing various reports. Fines are in the amount of $1,000 per day! No doubt there are some bad apples who file late regularly, but currently there are no exemption or waiver procedures in place for an IB who is late once during the term of membership. Also at the NFA, a proposal to have CPOs/CTAs meet minimum financial standards has been suggested, along with a rule that requires an independent third party to...
