Give-up/take-up

Give-up/take-up

We make it possible for Clearing Members to perform give-ups and take-ups. Certain rules apply:

  • Transactions can be given up from the agent accounts (A1-A9) and from the principal account (P1/P2 - NCMs only).
  • Transactions can be taken up in the agent accounts (A1-A9) and in principal accounts (P1/P2).
  • Give-ups and take-ups may only be performed for transactions executed on the same trading day (current give-up) or the second last trading day (historical give-up).

All give-up and take-up transactions require that the Exchange Participant and its respective Clearing Member accept them. Members may accept these transactions automatically (Clearing Member approval for the underlying Exchange Participant transaction only) or manually.

Acceptance must take place on the same day as the transaction took place. If a give-up transaction is not accepted by the end of the post full-trading period, the transaction remains in the agent account (A1/or P1, where no A account exists) of the original Exchange Participant. However, if a give-up transaction is not fully processed at the end of the day and has not reached the state “Take-Up Accepted” or “Rejected” it will be automatically re-allocated as a historical give-up on the next day.

Deleted or rejected give-up transactions also remain in the agent account of the exchange member. Transactions originating from combination orders can only be transferred as single give-up transactions.

Give-up transactions cannot be undertaken for products that are in “holiday” status. No historical give-up is possible the next business day for products that are on “holiday” the day before.

The give-up functionality allows members to transfer transactions to other members. The receiving member and the respective Clearing Member must accept the give-up for it to become valid. Only transactions originating on the trading day (current give-up) or the previous T-2 trading day (historical give-up) may be designated for give-up. The acceptance of transferred transactions is called take-up. In our clearing brochure you’ll find more indepth information.

Benefit from eGAINS


Since Eurex Clearing supports the eGAINS service from the FIA Technology Services, Inc., we will submit give-up and take-up information for all participating members to the eGAINS system.

What is eGAINS?

The eGAINS service is aimed to address inefficiencies in the brokerage, billing and payment process related to the processing of give-ups to allow for an electronic handling, reconciliation and break-management between executing and clearing brokers.

The eGAINS service is offered by FIA Technology Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of FIA (Futures Industry Association).

How does Eurex support eGAINS?

Eurex Clearing incorporates a daily transfer of give-up and take-up related transaction data to the eGAINS system. To comply with data protection and privacy only give-up and take-up data where all involved parties have subscribed to the eGAINS service will be prepared for transmission to the eGAINS system.

How can a member participate in the eGAINS service?

In order to participate in this automated billing service, interested firms need to initiate an eGAINS agreement with the FIA Technology Service, Inc. This agreement covers the authorization to access participants' data and the authorization to pull the necessary funds from the participants' accounts.
Following this agreement between the participant and the FIA Technology Services, Inc., the members will be set up accordingly by Eurex Clearing.
