Explanation of the functionality 1.Order validation: order entry to crossing requires that 1.order book is eligible, 2.participant sends the order to execution, 3.order size ≥ the minimum order size: order size is validated using previous closing price of the order book, 4.order is inserted with peg type midpoint, without any offset. If some of these criteria is not met, the incoming order is rejected. Orders can be entered, modified and cancelled. Order modification by a trader results the order size validation. Supported optional order attributes: MAQ and Limit price. TIF attributes: IOC, GTT, Good-till-market close. Orders are non-displayed: no prices or volumes or any information of the orders will be displayed in public feed. Protocol supporting order entry: FIX. 2.Matching: All orders are matched at the midpoint of BBO. Matching rules: participant-time. Matching takes place during continuous trading. Unfilled orders remain in system, even if the minimum size criteria is no longer met because of partial execution. 3.Suspended orders are removed from matching. Orders are suspended by the system if: 1.central order book goes into intra-day auction, or 2.the reference price doesn’t exist due to abnormal market conditions (e.g. one-sided markets), or 3.midpoint of reference price is with more than 4 decimals. Order price is automatically re-priced by the system when the midpoint changes. 4.Total separation: orders cannot interact with central order book orders: orders are executed solely against other orders. 5.Post trade transparency: Executed trades are published real time via public NASDAQ OMX feed without counterparty information. Trade counterparties are disclosed after market close, except in segments having post trade anonymity. executions are marked so that they can be identified. Data feed protocols: GCF-TIP and ITCH. 6.Executed trades update Turnover. They do not update the Last price, High/low, Average price, VWAP or have any effect on BBO in the central order book. 7.Clearing follows the clearing model of the order book/participant: CCP/bilateral and self clearing available. 5
