Electronic Trading

The world has embraced electronic trading and the model of electronic trading is well suited for listed options. The enormous number of products and associated quotes and transactions is a perfect fit for ISE�s high capacity central trading system.

ORDER MANAGEMENT

Members have direct access to the ISE system, allowing for immediate submission, amendment and cancellation of orders in the order book.

AUTOMATIC ORDER EXECUTION

Orders in the central orderbook are automatically executed by price priority. Customer orders are executed based on time of entry, and receive priority over non-customer orders.

EXECUTION IN A FRACTION OF A SECOND

The ISE�s central system, powered by next-generation Alpha and Intel-based servers of Hewlett-Packard Company, can provide users with an order turnaround time of under one-second.

ACCURATE AUDIT TRAILS

The rapid execution and electronic time stamping of orders and quotes, coupled with electronic trade matching, contributes to the accuracy of trading on the ISE.

OPEN INTERFACE PROGRAMMING

The proprietary open interface allows members to develop applications to work directly with the Exchange�s central system. The open interface uses an Application Programmers Interface (API) to send and receive executions and market information directly to members.
