Market-Making

For options, generally speaking, any trading member can act as a Market Maker and take part in the Market-Making programs and packages that are offered. All trading members are automatically checked to evaluate whether they fulfill Market Maker Obligations and if so, they will benefit from reduced fees. Only quotes and mass quotes traded via the M-account are taken into consideration.

For selected futures products, so-called "Designated" Market-Making is available. Market Makers take on defined obligations to increase liquidity in their chosen product. Subject to their performance in fulfilling their obligations, members are rewarded with a reduction in their fee levels.
