EP3® Update Highlights February 24, 2025
We are continually enhancing the functionality and performance that EP3 offers exchange operators. In response to customer feedback, EP3 now supports the following:
- Halt all markets from Admin UI
Exchange Operators can now halt all the markets open on EP3 with a single button click. This gives the exchange operators more control over their markets. For those customers that design and implement their own custom user interfaces and workflows this functionality is also available via an EP3 API endpoint.
- Admin UI White Labeling
Exchange Operators can now white label the EP3 Admin UI with their company’s custom logo, color palette, and tag line text. The logo is displayed at the top of the navigation bar and also serves as the favicon for the page.
- Account Product Level Open Position Limits
The open position limits for participant accounts can now be set at the Product Level in addition to the Instrument Level. This improves operational efficiency for those Exchange Operators that have large numbers of instruments that are of the same product. The limits can be set manually using the EP3 Admin UI or automated via an API endpoint.
- Enhanced Commission Flexibility
Updating EP3’s powerful rule-based commission model, exchange operators can now create a rule to apply a commission only to certain account types or a rule to exclude a commission from applying to certain account types.
- Various Performance and Reliability Enhancements
The team at Connamara Technologies is always looking to improve the already high performance and reliability of EP3. This includes both pre-trade order entry and the often overlooked post-trade processing.
- Improvements in post-trade reporting of trades when customers experience a spike in the number of trades per second.
- Improved database resilience and data integrity during failover.
- Increased the performance of the EP3 Order Routing FIX API by removing message logging from the critical path for order entry.
- Improved the performance of the service that evaluates the outcome of an event contract to determine the winner.
