The Defined Time Period shall be at least 100 milliseconds, and may not exceed 10 seconds.

For example, if the Response Time Interval is 300 milliseconds and the Defined Time Period is 200 milliseconds, a Complex Auction with a 300 millisecond Response Time Interval could commence within 200 milliseconds of the end of the trading session, and the Complex Auction could therefore not be completed. Flexibility in the establishment of the duration of the Defined Time Period would enable the Exchange to make the duration of the Response Time Interval and the Defined Time Period consistent in this regard.
