TAS
Feeder Cattle Settlement Procedures

Settlement (TAS) Trading at settlement is available for first 2 listed futures contract months, a calendar spread between the first and second cotnract month, and are subject to the existing TAS rules. The Last Trade Date for CME Livestock TAS products will be the second to last business day in the month prior ro the named contract month.

Trading in all CME Livestock TAS products will be 8:30 am-1:00 pm Chicago time Monday-Friday.

TAS products will trade a total of four ticks above and below the settlement price in ticks of the corresponding futures contract (0.00025), off of a "Base Price" of 0 to create a differential (plus or minus 4 ticks) versus settlement in the underlying product on a 1 to 1 basis. A trade done at the Base Price of 0 will correspond to a "traditional" TAS trade which will clear exactly at the final settlement price of the day.
