ASX Market

Block Trade Facility

With respect to our business model, wholesale market traders assume trades are done as blocks unless the company has received instructions or has been specifically authorized to execute as “cross” or “in the market”.

The company reminds all clients the following conditions for Block Trade Execution on ASX:

  • Price quoted for the Block Trade Order may or may not be the prevailing market price;
  • Price at which the Block Trade is executed will not be used in establishing the price of a Contract when it is settled in accordance with the operating rules of the relevant Market;
  • Block Trades shall have no impact on the Trading Platform market data for the relevant Market;
  • Block Trades will be separately reported to the relevant Market; and
  • Each leg of the Block Trade Order must meet the Minimum Threshold required.
Minimum Threshold
