Xspreads Information
Xspreads posts spreads in an electronic spread book executed through the International Securities Exchange and other broker dealers and exchange participants. We do not make a market in spreads, nor do we trade in opposition nor in accordance with customer orders. Spreads entered through our system are eligible for Xspreads posting but this may be limited due to limited availability of securities, limited exchange or dealer participation, or limitations of electronic systems among other factors. Spreads not eligible for Xspreads are delivered electronically to the exchange marketplace in the traditional manner.
