IT – INET Nordic – Update #3 - Implementation plan for Market Maker Order enhancement, and Removal of opening auction for Warrants, Certificates and ETNs - Production go-live set to December 1, 2017 (70/17)

As communicated earlier in 67/17, 64/17, 54/17 and 47/17, following requests from market participants, Nasdaq Nordic has decided to implement a set of enhancements to the current Market Maker Order (MMO). The enhancements will be launched in conjunction with removal of the current opening auction from Warrant, Certificate and Exchange Traded Notes (ETN) market segments on Nasdaq Helsinki, Nasdaq Copenhagen and Nasdaq Stockholm as communicated in 56/17.

Nasdaq Nordic has decided to implement the changes as per December 1, 2017 in production.

Background

Based on supplementary Member feedback, Nasdaq Nordic has decided to implement further improvements to the MMO service. The improvements made to the service comprises of a set of supplementary functions to the already pre-announced MMO market model (please see Draft Market Model):

  • No opening auction
  • Continuous trading starts 09:00:05 (Warrants), 09:00:30 (Certificates and ETN)
  • GTC orders carried over from previous to the next trading day
  • Order Management during Pre-Open will be allowed
  • GTCs and New Orders submitted during Pre-Open will be passed on to the MMO queue, and released at continuous trading when the Market Maker has established a Valid spread. Market Makers and retail clients will then fully benefit from the MMO functionality.

 

Testing access

In order to facilitate for the additional improvements as described above, the MMO enhancements are temporary removed in INET Nordic test systems (NTF/M2) to October 25, 2017.

From October 26, 2017 testing of the MMO enhancements and additional improvements will be available. From that date the MMO matching pause will be set to 600 milliseconds as in production.   

 

Legal and Market Model

The INET Nordic Market Model will be updated, effective as of launch of the service in production and changes will be available before the effective date.
