Euronext Amsterdam's Screen-Trading Pilot Project On Course

On 26 November, Euronext Amsterdam's options market launched a pilot project for screen trading options. At the moment, only the ASMI, Fortis and Nutreco option classes are being traded in this way, but if the project is as successful as current indicators suggest, all option classes will migrate from floor trading to screen trading in phases after the pilot project ends (at the February expiration).

The move from floor trading to screen trading is an important step towards achieving Euronext's goal of creating a new, joint trading platform for derivatives. The introduction of screen trading means that investors can trade in the pilot project option classes from almost anywhere on earth.
