Xetra® permits continuous trading and auctions. In continuous trading, an order is executed immediately as soon as a corresponding counter order is available. Auctions are conducted at the beginning and end of trading as well as several times during the day. They concentrate liquidity in a security at a specific point in time.
* Auctions have a random end. Times stated are the earliest times of the end of an auction.
Please note: On the last trading day of a year different trading times apply. These times are published in the correspondent announcements.
On Eurex settlement days the intraday auction for DAX stocks has a duration of 5 instead of 2 minutes.
All times are an approximation. Timestamps are meant as the earliest timestamp for the explicit trading phase change. Relevant are the trading phase changes in the trading system for Xetra.
The market status window is an indication regarding the current technical availability of the trading system. It indicates whether news board messages regarding current technical issues of the trading system have been published or will be published shortly.
