- The announcement of an imminent Improve execution is distributed via the regular market data feed. Once an announcement has been made, it is guaranteed that a respective customer order is executed in the order book after 150 milliseconds.
- If you want to react to an Improve announcement, you do not need to mark your order(s) in any way. In fact, even if you did not react to an Improve announcement but send an order during the price improvement period, it will be considered part of the Improve execution following the predefined matching rules.
- During the 150 milliseconds long price improvement period between the Improve announcement and the Improve execution, "regular" order book trading continues. During this time, you can send, amend and cancel as many orders as you wish, for any quantities and prices you would like.
- Any orders resting in the order book before an Improve request is initiated, maintain their priority.
