Please also note that two new trading boards will be added to the equity market system:

TECH trades with CCP exch (board ID: LIQB)

TECH trades with CCP off-exch (board ID: LIQO)

These boards will be used to settle the unfulfilled obligations of clearing members. Trades will be concluded in the orderbook based on orders entered by the NCC. Trading members will be able to enter only IOC orders of the opposite direction.

Orders and trades from these boards will be published in software interfaces like any other similar data. Trades from the LIQB board will be included into all trading and clearing reports similarly to other trades and will be available in the market data streams. Trades from the LIQO board will only be included into clearing reports and will not be included into market data. There will be no trading commission fee for trades on LIQO board.
