About Direct Market Access (DMA)

Since September, BM&FBOVESPA has made DMA available for the Bovespa segment (equities) via Provider Session, Investor Session, and Co-location Investor Session. These means of access have already been available in the BM&F segment (derivatives) since 2008 (DMA 1, 2 and 3) and 2009 (DMA 4).

As well as traditional access (DMA 1), in which the customer trades on the Mega Bolsa system via the technological structure of the brokerage house, in model  2 (Provider Session) the customer does not use the previous structure and connects directly to the system through an authorized access provider. In model 3 (Investor Session) the client connects to the system through a direct connection. In model 4, or via co-location, the client installs its own computer within the Exchange’s facilities.
