Our Central Limit Order Books ("CLOBs")

For Dealers:

Our Dealer community consists of the world’s largest trading institutions. They provide two-way pricing on our dealer-to-dealer central limit order book (D2D CLOB) as well as our dealer-to-client central limit order book (D2C CLOB). 

Dealers accessing our D2D CLOB are able to trade with other participants on a multilateral basis – meaning all participants trade with everyone. 

Dealers accessing our D2C CLOB can provide liquidity but cannot trade with another Dealer, for more information on D2C criteria , click here .

For Non-Dealers:

Non-dealers form a crucial part of our growing dealer-to-client central limit order book (D2C CLOB). 

Launched in 2019, it is designed to replicate many of the benefits offered to dealers trading via a CLOB model. These include real-time, executable pricing with live updates for a wide range of swap products, tighter spreads and reduced information leakage. 

Trad-X is the first CLOB that allows non-dealers to trade with both dealers and clients on a multilateral basis.
