"Market on Close will provide our marketplace with a number of key elements," said Richard Nesbitt, President of TSX Markets. "Key here is that all market participants will have access to a closing trading price that will be based on a pooling of orders and taking into consideration the liquidity in the market. We believe this is a fair way to base the closing price for the stock list."
Market on Close will operate in a manner similar to how the current marketplace opens for trading. The final price will be calculated by combining the orders in the MOC and continuous market books to determine the closing market price of a security.
