One Connection

A Single Connection for Pan-European Trading

Order Books

Integrated Order Books

BATS Chi-X Europe has two Integrated (Lit) order books that provide advanced visible and non-displayed order types to Participants with aggressive maker-taker pricing, anonymity and price-time priority.

Dark Order Books

BATS Chi-X Europe offers two anonymous midpoint dark order books with time-priority matching designed to minimise information leakage. They are separate dedicated order books with the same securities, clearing, markets traded and core trading hours as the Integrated order books.

Routing Strategies

Parallel D: Best Price
Splits a routable order and sends it to multiple market centres simultaneously at the same price level. Liquidity is exhausted at each price level to the limit price.

Parallel 2D: Faster Execution
Splits a routable order and sends it to multiple market centres and multiple price levels simultaneously.

Dark Routing Technique
Dark Routing Technique (DRT) provides less market impact by executing against non-displayed liquidity at multiple dark pools.

Re-Route
Re-Route applies to orders that have completed the routing process and are resting on the Integrated Book. It monitors quotes from other market centres and proactively searches for more liquidity when marketable liquidity becomes available elsewhere.
