Changes to US eWindow extension guidelines, effective October 9

Effective October 9, 2009, Platts is implementing a change to the assessment process extension guidelines in its US editorial processes where eWindow is used.

If, following a trade, any party expresses its repeat interest to buy/sell within 20 seconds of the close at 3:15:01 Eastern Time via eWindow, an automatic three-minute extension period will be triggered in order to adequately test repeatability. Only the bid or offer that showed repeat buying/selling interest will be valid during that extension period.
