LIFFE CONNECT® is a leading global derivatives trading system, offering low latency, high flexibility and advanced functionality to its global customer base. At the time of writing, LIFFE CONNECT® is distributed to 825 client sites in 31 countries.

LIFFE CONNECT® was designed and developed by the London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange (LIFFE), to replace its open outcry trading floor. Following the success of the initial migrations of the Equity Options, Bond and Index Futures, STIR (Short Term Interest Rate Futures) and Financial Options, LIFFE became a fully electronic exchange in 2000, with the migration of its Commodity Products onto LIFFE CONNECT®.

Liffe is the international derivatives business of the NYSE Euronext Group, (excluding the Arca options market), comprising the Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, London and Paris derivatives markets.

LIFFE CONNECT® is arguably the world’s most advanced derivatives trading system, offering unrivalled facilities for implied spreading, delta hedging, market making and risk management. Its state-of-the-art design and open system architecture allows customers to build or purchase trading applications to suit specific business needs, and to integrate those applications into other lines of business and business systems.
