Trades can be executed on the Main Board,
Negotiated Deals Board and on the Advertising Board in the Exchange.
On the Main Board the orders are matched
during the normal session and the fixing sessions. The orders sent to
the system are matched respectively on the price and time priority basis.
According to the price priority rule, the lower price sell orders are
matched before the higher price sell orders and the higher price buy
orders are matched before the lower price buy orders. In case of equal
prices, according to the time priority rule, the order which is entered
earlier is matched first.
Negotiated deals are large quantity orders
which can influence the prices on the Main Board. The orders which
involve 500 or more contracts in one entry for physically delivered
currency futures contracts and 2,000 or more contracts in one entry for
ther contracts are accepted as negotiated deals. Both parties of
negotiated deals are definite and the Exchange’s approval is mandatory
for them to be traded on the Negotiated Deals Board. On the Advertising
Board, traders indicate their interest in performing a negotiated trade.
Once an advertising order is matched by the counterparty, it becomes a
negotiated deal and the trade occurs on the Negotiated Deals Board if
the Exchange approves the trade.
