Venue Specific Connectivity Requirements Questionnaire

The electronic trading landscape is one that is constantly evolving which increasingly demands clarity, consistency and transparency in how trading venues communicate their connectivity requirements to members and other interested market participants. The FIA Global eTrading Committee with input from FIA PTG and FIA EPTA, have created the Venue Specific Connectivity Requirements standard list of questions. The Venue Specific Connectivity Requirements Questionnaire has been developed to provide a harmonised framework for trading venues to provide their members and other market participants with their specific rules and policies around electronic trading.

The purpose of the Venue Specific Connectivity Requirements Questionnaire is to enable trading venues to consolidate their electronic trading connectivity requirements into a single, structured document. This will ensure that market participants receive clear and comprehensive information, reducing any ambiguity and operational risk. Further, the Questionnaire supports the efficiency in onboarding, and ongoing compliance.

The Venue Specific Connectivity Requirements Questionnaire outlines information on trading venue connectivity requirements that market participants typically need to understand when connecting to or accessing a specific trading venue.

The Venue Specific Connectivity Requirements Questionnaire is designed to be used by all trading venues, across all jurisdictions with the view of enhancing transparency and standardisation across the electronic trading.
