(a) A member or Registered User who is registered as a floor broker or associated person, or in a comparable capacity under applicable law, may enter discretionary or non-discretionary orders on behalf of any account of a clearing member with the prior approval of the clearing member responsible to clear such orders.

(b) A member or Registered User who is not registered as a floor broker or associated person, or in a comparable capacity under applicable law, may enter non-discretionary orders on behalf of customers. Such member or Registered User may enter discretionary or non-discretionary orders for the account of his employer or for his own account provided he does not enter or handle customer orders.

(c) It shall be the duty of each member or Registered User to: (1) submit orders through the e-cbot system under his registered e-cbot User ID and (2) input for each order the price, quantity, product, expiration month, correct CTI code and appropriate account designation and, for options, put or call and strike price. A suspense account may be used at the time of order entry provided that a contemporaneous written record of the order, with the correct account designation, is made, time-stamped and maintained in accordance with Regulation 5B.18, and provided that the correct account designation is entered into the clearing system prior to the end of the trading day. A suspense account may also be used at the time of order entry for bunched orders that are eligible for post-trade allocation, and are executed pursuant to and in accordance with CFTC Regulation 1.35(a-1)(5).

(d) With respect to orders received by a member or Registered User which are immediately entered into the e-cbot system, no separate record need be made. However, if a member or Registered User receives an order that is not immediately entered into the e-cbot system, a record of the order including the order instructions, account designation, date, time of receipt and any other information that is required by the Exchange must be made. The order must be entered into the e-cbot system when it becomes executable. (11/29/07)
