Market Structure
XCDE Sessions follow the Foreign Exchange global standard for Start and End-of-Day locked to 5pm New York time (always local time, summer and winter). The Repo Instrument Far_Legs listed on REPO/Lend, ID = Intra-day, ON = Overnight, TOD-TOM = Today-Tomorrow for week-ends only and 1w = 1 week, 2w = 2 weeks are maturing on the 5pm New York datelines of their Maturity Date as follows.
Session | Start | End |
---|---|---|
Tuesday | Mon 5pm | Tuesday 5pm |
Wednesday | Tue 5pm | Wed 5pm |
Thursday | Wed 5pm | Thu 5pm |
Friday | Thu 5pm | Fri 5pm |
Monday | Fri 5pm | Mon 5pm |
Note that to minimise operations work during week-ends like in FX, ON Repo (Overnight) on Fridays are 3-day Repo spanning over the week-end.
An ID Repo traded on Saturday will have its Far_Leg maturing on Monday at 5pm NY. To clarify the "session" concept, make a TradingSessionListRequest REST call to this EndPoint and receive the current and future Sessions you can trade.
