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.
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.
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.
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.
Each CSE Dealer firm must meet the following minimum requirements in order to obtain access to the trading facilities of the CSE:
Each CSE dealer must submit a one-time application fee of $2,500 plus GST/HST with their completed CSE Dealer Form and CSE Dealer Agreement. Once approved, dealers must pay a monthly participation fee of $500 for access to the CSE.
