The ICE Broker Rebate Program - Approving Curves
Brokers must approve their curves on each business day for each product.
Curves can only be approved between 2:30 PM EST and 3:30 PM EST Monday through Friday.
Below the Products To Approve heading you will see a strip listing your products. The products will be colored-coded red, green or gray.
  • Green signifies that the curve for that product has been approved.
  • Red signifies that the curve for that product has yet to be approved.
  • Gray signifies that the product derives its parameters from another (base) product, and that the base product has not yet been approved.
    • You will not be able to approve a derived product until the product from which it derives is approved.
    • By hovering over a gray-colored product button the product from which it derives will appear in a tool tip.
Steps to approve a product
  • Clicking on a product will cause three tabs to appear. They represent:
    • Your last approved curve.
    • Your current curve.
    • The difference between them if any.
  • In the current tab, click on the row for the last contract date that you wish to approve. You will be approving all contracts for a particular product starting from the first non-expired contract up to your selected last contract. Note that the approve button will not appear until you select the last contract.
  • This will cause the approval button to appear.
  • Hovering over that button will give you summary of what you are about to approve.
  • Click the green approve buttonapproveto approve the product.
