The T7 trading software, designed by Deutsche Börse Group, builds on the T7 trading platform's track record as a first-mover in electronic trading. It is a leading-edge trading platform with a powerful set of capabilities. Ultra-low latency, robustness, and safe handling of very high throughput are all achieved through state-of-the-art technology. The T7 platform supports both on-book and off-book trading.


On-book Trading

On-book trading involves buyers and sellers entering their orders and quotes into a central order book, and then executing these orders and quotes against each other.

In on-book trading, neither the owner of an order nor the counterparty is disclosed. In non-CCP products, counterparties are revealed in trade confirmations. A market participant may access anonymous market information such as the best Bid and Ask price as well as their aggregated bid and offer sizes in real time.

Off-book Trading

Off-book trading involves prearranged trades. Participants in an off-book trade agree on the price and quantity before the trade is entered into the exchange system. Trades that take place off-book on T7 are also known as T7 Entry Services (TES).

The terms off-book trading and T7 Entry Services (TES) are used interchangeably. T7 also offers off-book trades outside the central order book by using Eurex EnLight and Xetra EnLight.
