TSE will introduce off-auction block trading in options on March
12, 2007.
By utilizing off-auction block trading, investors can avoid the
risk of partial implementation during strategic trading, making
more efficient transactions possible and minimizing market impact.
We at the TSE believe that we can improve usability for investors
and further enhance our options market through the introduction
of this system.
Please refer to the PDF file for the details on this system.
