Impact Assessment

Operational Impact: Low - This is a routine mock trading session with no financial obligations. No actual trades will result in fund pay-in or pay-out.

System Impact: Members need to prepare for testing on Saturday with limited Extranet/member portal availability from 12:00 pm onwards. NOTIS application will have limited functionality (only trade download accessible).

Member Impact: Members can use this session for software testing and regulatory compliance requirements. No new version deployment reduces complexity and risk.

Market Impact: None - Mock session only, no impact on live trading operations or settlement processes.

Impact Justification

Routine mock trading session with no new version release, no financial obligations, and no impact on live trading operations
