Our technology, which is based on the proven Eurex® system, delivers just that. As a result of many years of continuous investment, market consultation, and regular upgrades, our superior technology ensures that we remain at the forefront of our industry.

Eurex Release 12.0

Eurex Release 12.0 introduces innovative clearing and trading features and will support projects, such as the Eurex/ISE Link and the Eurex/KRX Link.

In addition to the software changes for the links with the International Securities Exchange (ISE) and the Korea Exchange (KRX), users will also benefit from optimized usability such as an extended Multilateral Trade Registration facility and an improved OTC Volatility Strategy Trade facility for equity options that now features an integrated cash equity leg.

With this release, Eurex will be the first exchange to adopt AMQP - Advanced Message Queuing Protocol. This standard protocol for business messaging will be used by Eurex Clearing's new interface "Enhanced Risk Solution" to provide real-time risk management data in FIXML format. Therefore, Eurex Clearing is the world's only clearing house to control risk continuously by recalculating positions in real-time.
