Option of full CBOE/ASX market.

Option of full CBOE/ASX market.

The majority of market transactions are completed on the ASX, and the ‘price’ of a stock is normally based on the ASX market. But there is another market, Australia’s second largest ASIC-regulated stock exchange, called CBOE (previously called ChiX) that does around 20% of the volume.

In order to remain at an appropriately low cost for more people, we elected to provide access to the ASX, with CBOE available as an option. Your orders already check the CBOE market for a better price than the ASX, and you can already see and trade the CBOE-only listed exchange traded funds.

Marketech Focus clients can subscribe to CBOE data in addition to ASX data.
