NYMEX ClearPort® Trading
NYMEX ClearPort® Clearing
Overview
NYMEX ClearPort® trading combines the accessibility of a web-based application with a user-friendly trading interface to form a powerful new tool for participation in approximately 260 energy futures markets. The result is the unprecedented ability to manage price risk while mitigating counterparty credit risk through the financial strength and depth of the Exchange.

The product slate replicates popular energy derivatives, and is available for trading from 6:00 PM Sundays through 5:15 PM Fridays, with a 45-minute break each day between 5:15 PM and 6:00 PM. All trades are submitted to the Exchange clearinghouse which offers a system of guarantees to mitigate counterparty credit risk. Trades are entered by a futures commission merchant, introducing broker, or Exchange staff. NYMEX ClearPort trades are executed on the basis of price and time with total anonymity and absolute fairness. The first order in at the best price is the first executed.

Market participants desiring to trade these contracts must first establish an account with an Exchange clearing member firm.

Margin requirements are netted against other cleared positions on the Exchange, reducing costs and improving cash flow.

NYMEX ClearPort offers entry to the market through a state-of-the-art system with excellent versatility. Market participants can customize their front-end software to meet their particular trading requirements while efficiently communicating on-line with the Exchange. NYMEX ClearPort also provides for enterprise-wide credit checks to offer an effective risk management tool, and the system is scaleable to allow for future growth.
