Lysaker, 10 March 2011
On March 7, 2011, NASDAQ OMX announced the launch of Genium INET Web Trade, a new user friendly and easy to deploy web based trading application.
Members can use Genium INET Web Trade for proprietary trading, or to offer clients sponsored access to NASDAQ OMX Commodities power and carbon markets subject to applicable regulations.
Genium INET Web Trade features pre-trade limit functionality which gives general clearing members (GCMs) and direct members a tool box for managing clients’ and traders’ market exposure. The application comes with a sophisticated administration tool which allows members to define trading accounts, trader rights and pre-trade limits.
To utilise Genium INET Web Trade, members need to have connectivity to the internet and enter into the Genium INET Web Trade user agreement. No application has to be pre-installed locally at the member site, and no leased line or VPN solution is required.
Members can request user access to Genium INET Web Trade from the Financial Marketplace Service in line with existing procedures.
The Genium INET Web Trade Quick Guide and Genium INET Web Trade User Agreement are available at: www.nasdaqomxcommodities.com/trading/electronictradingsystems/geniuminetweb.
Alternatively, members can contact their account manager, the Financial Marketplace Service or Sales Department for more information on how to start using Genium INET Web Trade.
NASDAQ OMX Commodities Europe is the first of NASDAQ OMX’s markets to offer Genium INET Web Trade to members and clients. The application is available effective immediately.
