Order Types

ICX CBX

Supports Market Order, Limit Order, Minimum Fill and Time in Force

ICX CBX is a low-latency, continuous limit order book that provides the benefit of broker/time priority matching, with the option of trading anonymously or by having the trade attributed. It is fully closed with no IOIs sent, orders routed or quotes displayed in public markets.

ICX CBX supports advanced order types and uses an ultrafast matching engine based on technology developed for securities exchanges.

Crosses are printed on ICX and fill details are sent to subscribers, CDS and CIRO.

ICX Conditional Order Book

ICX participants may send conditional orders to the ICX Conditional Order Book. Conditional orders are non-firm indications of trading interest which cannot by themselves result in an executed trade and only interact with other conditional orders. In the event of a match identified on the ICX Conditional Order Book, each conditional order will be cancelled back in full and the participant will receive an invitation to "firm up". Subscribers may then respond by submitting a firm order to the ICX CBX book, where the normal ICX execution protocols will apply.
