F7 Trading System

Connectivity

Eurex Repo's F7 trading system is integrated into the Deutsche Börse Group IT infrastructure. Similar to the existing connection alternatives for other markets of Deutsche Börse Group, the network allows a web-based access and a leased line connection. As F7 connects each individual user of Eurex Repo’s trading system directly, bandwidth requirements are directly proportional to the number of users. Bandwidth consumption per active user is calculated with 0,420 Mb/s. Bandwidth options is offered from 0.5 Mb/s to 10.0 Mb/s (up to 25 active traders in parallel).

F7 provides a browser based GUI solution which does not require maintenance efforts by the Eurex Repo participant. All traffic will be secured by use of x509 certificates.

Please note: the Eurex Repo F7 trading GUI is based on HTML5. Browsers which comply with the HTML5 standard, as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Mozilla Firefox are supported. Please see the most recent version of the Repo F7 Release Notes for a list of supported browser versions.

For a comprehensive summery of connectivity options and steps required to create and use required client certificates, please refer to the document "F7 Connectivity Guide" listed below.
