Overview

Market Model

The CSE offers a continuous auction market for securities listed on the CSE, TSX, and TSXV. Orders are ranked by price/broker/time and are matched in CSE’s high performance/low latency trading system. In addition, the CSE is continuing to add services for dealers, designed to assist them in meeting their client needs and regulatory obligations.

Access & Trader Workstations

Dealers may use their existing order entry systems vendor (IRESS, ITS Online, ION, etc.) to access the CSE. Once approved, dealers should contact their vendor to request connectivity to the order entry gateways in the FIX protocol. Dealers will use the same trading number identification currently assigned to them by other Canadian exchanges.

Clearing & Settlement

All trades on the CSE are cleared and settled through the Canadian Depository for Securities (CDS). The CSE provides a daily trade activity report to CDS which then clears and settles the trades through its Continuous Net Settlement System.

Real-Time Data

Access to real-time market data may be obtained either through an authorized CSE market data vendor or by processing feeds from the CSE directly.
