RE: Weekly Notification of Rule Amendments: Nadex Adds Discretionary Strikes, and 

Halts Certain Intraday 5-Minute Binary Contracts - Submission Pursuant to 

Commission Regulation §40.6(d)

Dear Mr. Kirkpatrick:

Pursuant to Section 5c(c)(1) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (“Act”), and 

section §40.6(d) of the regulations promulgated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission 

(the “Commission”) under the Act (the “Regulations”), and by the authority granted in Nadex 

Rule 12, North American Derivatives Exchange, Inc. (“Nadex”, the “Exchange”) hereby 

provides notice that due to volatility in the underlying markets upon which the Nadex contracts 

are based, Nadex added additional strike levels on a discretionary basis in its Daily Wall Street 

30, US Tech 100, US SmallCap 2000, US 500, and Germany 30 Binary contracts on April 17, 

2015. Nadex returned to its regular listing schedule for these contracts on April 20, 2015. 

Additional strikes created on April 17 are attached hereto in Exhibit A.

Additionally, in accordance with the authority granted in Nadex Rules 12.27(f)(iv)(5), 

12.29(f)(iv)(5), 12.31(f)(iv)(5), and 12.37(f)(iv)(5), Nadex halted the listing of its Intraday 5-

Minute Currency Binary contracts which would expire on the hour for the week of April 13, 

2015 due to the possibility of a duplicate strike level conflict. For example, the next expiration 

that occurred following the 9:55am expiration was 10:05am. Likewise, the next expiration to 

follow the 10:55am expiration was 11:05am, and so forth.

Nadex hereby certifies that the additions contained herein comply with the Act, as 

amended, and the Commission Regulations adopted thereunder.
