- AVAILABLE TO ALL
MARKET PARTICIPANTS
- Canadian Registered Dealers
- Canadian Buy Side and U.S. firms (through sponsoring Canadian Dealers)
- Participants connect via 3rd party Access Vendors or directly via FIX
Canada's premier Access Vendors are adding MATCH Now as a new marketplace within their current trading applications and new "smart routing" services. You can access MATCH Now as easily as selecting a new market destination for your order. No onerous new system to apply or pay for.
|
- SWEEP MULTIPLE MARKETS
IN ONE STEP
- Trade TSX and TSX-Venture listed securities
- Smart order routers send your order to MATCH Now only if a potential match exists
- Unmatched orders are routed directly to the marketplace of your choice
MATCH Now trades all TSX-listed securities. When you select "smart routing" as your Canadian destination, your order "glances" into the MATCH Now marketplace. Access Vendors will route the order to MATCH Now only if a potential match exists; otherwise, the order does not enter MATCH Now and instead routes directly on to a transparent Canadian marketplace.

- All orders are traded at mid-point
- Smart-routed orders gain 50% of the spread
- Liquidity providers have access to contra passive orders and streaming active orders from Smart Order Routers
When a match occurs in MATCH Now it is priced according to the Canadian National Best Bid/Offer (NBBO) at the time of the transaction. Passive liquidity providers gain a minimum of 80% of the NBBO spread; active marketflow/smart routed orders gain up to 20% of the spread (up to $0.01).

COSTS
- Gain access to firm wide flow (including retail)
- No maker/taker rebate arbitrage
