Annual load testing of Moscow Exchange trading and clearing systems on 20 September 2014

Moscow Exchange would like to inform you about a public load testing scheduled on 20 September 2014 for FX, Derivatives and Equity markets trading and clearing systems.

Testing will allow trade participants to measure the performance and capacity of their systems and the required network bandwidth when processing high transaction volumes in order to plan the updates of own infrastructure to deal with "bottlenecks".

We invite all the trade participants to join the testing by connecting all the software, including the HFT systems, to the test trading session.

Trading and clearing systems will be available for connection after 11:00 MSK, 20 September. Tentative trading session start time — 12:00.

In order to participate please send an application to help@moex.com including your firm ID (FX and Equity markets) or login (Derivatives market) and your contact information. FAST feeds will be available to all the users of this service in production.

If you do not plan to participate, please disconnect all your systems from the Moscow Exchange production infrastructure for this weekend in order to avoid receiving test market data.

Test schedule and load profile will be published later.
