Fees only when ports are live
If you use Cboe EDGX logical ports, you will only be charged the monthly Logical Port Fee for a port once that port type is available in the exchange's live production environment. Logical ports used only during weekend testing or certification (before the port type is live) will not be assessed the monthly fee until the port type is launched in the live production environment.
Production weekend testing remains voluntary and free
Cboe EDGX offers voluntary weekend testing in its production environment so Members and non-Members can test updated or new logical port types without impacting live markets. Logical ports that support protocols not yet launched in the live production environment will be free during weekend testing until those port types go live.
