"The CBOE Hybrid Trading System will revolutionize options trading by combining the speed, efficiencies and transparency of a screen-based trading system with the liquidity and superior price discovery of a competitive, open outcry marketplace," said CBOE Chairman and CEO William J. Brodsky. "CBOEdirect HyTS effectively provides a unique 'best of both worlds' trading environment that will distinguish CBOE from all-electronic or purely floor-based exchanges."
CBOEdirect HyTS, with CBOEdirect as its trade engine, offers "point-and-click" execution against displayed quotes, individual market maker streaming quotes, and open access to the order book for customer, firm, and broker dealer orders, as well as the opportunity for price improvement in the open outcry arena.
In addition, the CBOE HyTS Terminal provides customers with a multi-functional universal access trading solution. CBOE partnered with Belzberg Technologies, Inc. to create a workstation that offers trading desks point-and-click electronic access to CBOE markets, as well as order routing capabilities to other options, stock, and futures exchanges. The CBOE HyTS Terminal offers the most sophisticated order submission, routing, and management technology available today.
