CONFIGURE

tradeYOM clients access an intuitive, menu-driven interface to guide them through the process of setting up a new market. So-called English and Dutch auction varieties are supported, along with continuous trading models. The market administrator sets the currency, the hours of operation, various order parameters and other rules and then simply presses a button to spawn a new market segment. Convenient tools allow clients to clone tradeYOM markets they have set up previously and want to re-use, either for new products or different members.

add products

New products to sell? Adding new instruments to a tradeYOM market is simple as can be. Using the tradeYOM client interface, a market administrator uploads the contract documents that define new products and associates each with a trade symbol unique to that market. Easy-to-use tools allow for the creation of products one at a time or in batches. When new products are added to an active market, every member gets alerted by email and an in-system message.

add members

As all tradeYOM markets are operated on an invitation-only basis, it is the market owner’s important responsibility to assemble the right community. Again using the tradeYOM client interface, the administrator invites prospective members one-by-one or in groups, again with the option of re-using member lists of other markets owned by the same tradeYOM client. Invitees receive a tradeYOM-generated email, with embedded security, that allows them to accept the offer of membership. If they have not previously done so, users of a tradeYOM market must register.

In whatever format the market’s owner has configured, the tradeYOM trading portal accepts member orders from that segment’s opening time. In many cases, a user will be a member of multiple tradeYOM markets, and the tradeYOM member interface provides simultaneous access to all of them, with handy visualization tools and the ability to manage orders.
