Investor emergency access platform enables investors to close positions and cancel orders when member trading services are disrupted. A contingency platform, Investor Risk Reduction Access (IRRA), will be developed by exchanges to permit investors to square off open positions and cancel pending orders across segments and exchanges when a Trading Member's trading services are disrupted; IRRA is enabled on TM request or suo moto by exchanges, requires investor authentication via UCC or PAN plus OTP, prohibits actions that increase investor risk, provides an Admin Terminal for TMs to monitor and act on investor instructions with retained evidence, leaves settlement and margin obligations with the TM, and requires exchanges to provide reverse migration, testing, guidelines and member communications.
