Operating out of Paris, EPEX SPOT is an independent subsidiary of the European Energy Exchange (EEX) covering power markets in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, the UK and Switzerland. Clients trading EPEX SPOT intraday markets on TT will be able to leverage the platform’s sophisticated algorithmic and other automated trading tools, as well as its risk management capabilities across the trade lifecycle.
TT® supports the following:
EPEX offers two types of matching algorithms. The exchange uses price-time priority when matching orders meaning that it first matches the oldest buy and sell orders submitted at the same price limit.
Provides matching for continuous trading of cross border energy contracts. The XBID system provides a shared order book functionality which allows for consistent prices in the market regardless of the region.
EPEX SPOT's trade matching engine is hosted by Equinix GmbH in Frankfurt, Germany.
Currently, the exchange provides a maximum of twenty (20) levels of market depth for all products. TT receives market depth directly from the exchange and forwards it to the client trading applications.
TT will support EPEX Continuous Intraday Trading, which is made up of both XBID and Local phases across all EPEX Delivery Areas. At any time during a 24-hour period, there will be contracts that are tradable. Please see the Product List below for more detail.
