    Open Outcry

    Operating during regular trading hours (RTH), theopen outcrymethod consists of floor tradersstanding in a trading pit to call out orders, prices, and quantities of a particular commodity.Different colored jackets are worn by the traders to indicate their function on the floor (traders,runners, CME employees, etc.). In addition, complex hand signals (calledArb) are used. Thesehand signals were first used in the 1970s. The pits are areas of the floor that are lowered tofacilitate communication, sort of like a miniatureamphitheater. The pits can be raised and

    lowered depending on trading volume. To an onlooker, the open outcry system can look chaoticand confusing, but in reality the system is a tried and true method of accurate and efficienttrading. An illustrated project to record the hand signal language used in CME's trading pits hasbeen compiled.[3]

    Former PresidentGeorge W. Bushat the CME (March 6, 2001).

    Electronic trading

    Operating virtually around the clock, today the CME Globex trading system is at the heart ofCME. Proposed in 1987, it was introduced in 1992 as the first globalelectronic tradingplatformforfutures contracts. This fully electronic trading system allows market participants to tradefrom booths at the exchange or while sitting in a home or office thousands of miles away. On 19October 2004, the one billionth (1,000,000,000) transaction was recorded.

    When Globex was first launched, it usedReuters'technology and network. September 1998 sawthe launch of the second generation of Globex using a modified version of the NSC tradingsystem, developed byParis Boursefor theMATIF(nowEuronext).

    To connect to Globex, traders connect via Market Data Protocol (MDP) and iLink 2.0 for orderrouting.

    Mergers and Acquisitions

    In 2006, CME purchased "Swapstream", aninterest rate swapselectronic trading platform, basedin London.

    On October 17, 2006, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange announced the purchase of theChicagoBoard of Tradefor $8 billion in stock, rejoining the two financial institutions asCME Group,

    I nc. CBOT formerly used outsourced technology platforms but has moved over to CME'sGlobex trading system. This will provide much of the merger's anticipated savings. The mergerwill also strengthen the combined group's position in the globalderivatives market.[4]The mergeragreement was modified on December 20, 2006,[5]May 11, 2007,[6]June 14, 2007,[7]and on July6, 2007.[8]The merger agreement was passed by shareholders of both CME and the ChicagoBoard of Trade on July 9, 2007.[9]The merger officially closed on July 12, 2007, after which theChicago Board of Trade shares (old symbol: BOT) stopped trading and were converted intoCME shares as agreed, and the overarching holding company began life as CME Group, a
