Trading Principles

The Market is operating on a multiple price-continuos auction trading system. This system employs fully automated electronic order matching, administering and reporting system. Representatives of the authorised Market participants transmit their orders through automated trading system terminals in their dealing rooms.

 

Once an order is transmitted to the system, matching is processed according to price and time priorities. All orders are continuously entered into the system and only orders with best price are automatically matched. In this respect, bid orders are matched with equal or lower priced ask orders and ask orders are matched with equal or higher priced bid orders. Members are subsequently informed about the executed transactions. All information pertaining to price and volume of best orders as well as details of the last transaction and a summary of all transactions are disseminated on data vendors' screens. Orders with the same price are displayed on a cumulative basis.

 

Orders are entered into the system on the currency of the relevant eurobond. Pricing is also made on the currency of the relevant eurobond on a basis of “100” face value.

 Value of the orders can be minimum 3 business days (V=T+3) and maximum 15 (V=T+15) days.

 Transactions take place between 09:30-12:00 and 13:00-17:00 on business days and have a break between 12:00-13:00.
