Market Access to LIFFE CONNECT® can be accessed electronically from the world’s major financial centres.

Users have considerable flexibility and choice of networks including:

• Direct access via the NYSE Euronext Network, (regulatory restrictions may prevent or condition access in some jurisdictions);
• Access via the co-location datacentre;
• Access through services offered by an Application Service Provider (ASP);
• Light access via a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection over the Internet;
• Light access via a 128k leased line (Amsterdam only);
• Access via a member’s own network.

Please note that to fully access all products on Liffe, members will require a 2Mb or 100Mb connection.

NYSE Euronext recognizes that customer requirements vary markedly and therefore LIFFE CONNECT® does not impose particular trading software on users. You may choose to buy trading software from any of the independent software vendors (ISVs) that have built trading systems to the Application Program Interface (API).

Alternatively, many firms choose to build their own trading software and interface it to the market. Whichever route you choose, our approach allows you to use the trading software that best fits your trading needs.

It is also possible to access LIFFE CONNECT® through order routing services provided by member firms as well as through members providing access to independent traders from trading bureaux.
