Changes to US eWindow extension guidelines October 9

Platts is clarifying its time extension guidelines in US editorial processes where eWindow is used.

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

If, at 3:15:01, there is additional market depth at the same price level as the repeat order that triggered the extension, the assessment will reflect the remaining market depth at the close.
