Australia Stock Exchange (ASX) & CHI-X Available in TMS!

January 11, 2021

Dear Manager,

We are happy to announce that we will be opening up access to the Australia Stock Exchange. To ensure a smooth re-introduction of this market, access will be opened in stages.

As of trade date March 4, 2020, TMS Australia will be available to all offices. We encourage those offices who are interested in trading the ASX in Live to first become familiar with the market by trading on it consistently in TMS.

Order Per Side Restrictions (2021/01/12)

Effective trade date 2021-01-12, we will be reducing the trader order per side restriction to 2 orders per gateway + destination, down from the current 3.

This is being done while we continue to work with our broker to increase the global maximum order per side restriction (currently set to 15).

We hope to provide a further update on these efforts in the near future!

Fee Reduction

Gateway	Liquidity Flags	Description	Current Fee	New Fee

ASX Market Access [12/09/2020]

We have made improvements to the handling of the Global Orders per Side restriction to minimize the impact on active symbols. If there is a stock that you feel needs or warrants a higher limit, you can submit a mojo.

Also, our broker is now able to offer trading in cannabis-related companies —something that was previously unavailable. You can see the list of available ASX cannabis symbols here (only for clients).

For offices that are interested in trading Australia, you will need to submit a mojo ticket first. In the ticket, please include details about your traders' past experience trading in Live on the ASX market, including the trading plan/strategies that will be used if the request is approved. Demonstrated practice and trading activity in TMS will likewise help applications go through successfully.

New Clearing Firm [07/06]

We are pleased to announce that we have started the process of moving to a new clearing firm for our ASX equities trading. This change will result in a number of improvements for you and your traders including:

Lower fees
Improved short locate availability
Faster rollout of ASX market access to additional offices

Unfortunately during this transition period, which we are working to keep to 1-2 weeks, the symbols which we can trade will be limited. Please see the Available Symbol List on TIP for the current list of available symbols. We will not be able to process symbol unblock requests during this transition period.

We appreciate your patience during this transition period.

How to Access

To trade this market in Live, interested offices must submit a mojo ticket to apply for access. The ticket must contain detailed information about your traders' past experience trading in Live on the ASX market, including the trading plan/strategies that will be used if the request is approved.

We will have access to both ASX and CHI-X Australia. Initially, only the Limit Day, IOC, and FOK order types will be available. We are working with our broker to add more orders and destinations soon.

Symbol List

All symbols will be listed with market extension AX and region AUNZ. The gateway fee on all destinations will be 1.2 BP, along with an execution fee of 0.10 USD (the equivalent in AUD). Day Trade The World™ covered Australia entitlements for Live until the end of April 2020.
