Greater speed in creating series of Options on Futures Contracts
B3 is implementing a major improvement in its derivatives trading infrastructure. It will increase the limit of series of options available on Futures Contracts.
Currently, the number of series is limited to a maximum of 124 series per contract, due to the methodology used to generate the settlement ID. This limit required the analysis and closure of old series to allow the creation of new ones, which made the process operationally complex.
With the new ID generation methodology, it will be possible to create up to 99,999 options per futures contract month, providing greater agility to requests made by participants to create new option series.

New methodology offers greater efficiency to B3’s derivatives trading infrastructure.
The limit for creating series of Options on Futures Contracts was up to 124 series per contract month. This required the exclusion of old series (with no open contracts) to allow the registration of new series.
Now, market participants will have greater agility to enter new option series. With the new methodology, the limit has increased to up to 99,999 series per contract month.
Allows trading contracts based on future expectations of the stock market in four major segments: interest rates, currencies, indices and commodities.
