Option to Exclude Auction Executions

This optional change became effective when filed on January 14, 2026 and applies at the class, EFID, or EFID Group level on both interval and absolute bases.
Count Trades by Contra-Party Capacity
Cboe users may choose to count only a specified percentage (up to 100%) of volume or executions toward their risk limits based on contra-party capacity. For example, a User could set only 20% of the quantity on trades with Capacity "C" (Public Customer) to count toward class, EFID, or EFID Group limits, on interval or absolute bases; this option is available as of the January 14, 2026 filing.
