"TOCOM V-Trade" is a service provided by TOCOM, offering a virtual trade environment to anyone interested in the Exchange market.
This service is made available by combining TOCOM’s staging environment, equipped with the same matching engine used in the production environment, with the systems of members and IT vendors, who are providing front-end software for the TOCOM V-Trade. Anyone with a PC connected to the internet can experience virtual trade on the TOCOM market through this service.
TOCOM’s new trading system, based on a NASDAQ OMX package software, offers trading functionalities in line with international standards, which differ completely from what was available under the previous system, including a wider array of order types and a circuit breaker system. TOCOM V-Trade can be used by existing or potential new Members, as well as individual investors, as a training tool to become more familiar with the new trading system before actually trading in the production environment, or to deepen their understanding of futures trading.
Notice: TOCOM V-Trade is different from the virtual trade services that had been offered by Members, which were developed by them internally and used to promote their own online trading system.
