JPX J-Net Trades

The TT® platform supports J-NET Trading on JPX. Using the Blocktrader widget on TT, you can submit the following orders:

  • J-Net One Sided: Orders that are only posted to the participant listed as the counterparty. J-Net One Sided orders are only executed after the counterparty submits a matching J-NET One Sided order.
  • J-Net Cross: Orders where the bid-side participant and an ask-side participant are set within the same order message. Both sides of the order are then executed as a Cross order.

Matching a J-Net One Sided trade

J-NET One Sided orders are only executed after both traders submit a matching J-NET One Sided order. To match these trades, JPX requires the following:

  • The orders must have the same trade type, instrument, price, and quantity.
  • Both sides of the trade (Buy and Sell) must be set.
  • Both participants must set each other as their counterparty.
