Release 13.0 starts new order types/ Improved risk management of OTC transactions/ More efficient access to the Xetra trading system
November 26, 2012--Deutsche Börse rolled out Xetra Release 13.0 on Monday. This new version of the trading system allows investors to use the intelligent order type order-on-event for the first time.

“The new order-on-event order type on Xetra is unique in Europe. This innovation sets international standards and in so doing emphasises the leading role and competitiveness of our trading system,” said Rainer Riess, Managing Director of Xetra Market Development. “The new TOP+ order, which usefully supplements the TOP order from Release 12.0, also sets new standards.”
