On-Market Trading
TISE operates a bespoke auction-based trading system called NOVA. Trades executed on NOVA are based on orders entered by Trading Members. The orderbooks for TISE listed securities that are traded on NOVA, the indicative trade price and the volume of shares tradeable at that indicative price, are all displayed on the Exchange’s website, as are all executed trades following each auction event.
Auctions take place around 16:00 every Thursday, with individual securities designated to an auction cycle of either a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis.
Off-Market Trading
Trades of TISE listed securities that are executed by Trading Members outside of NOVA e.g. cross trades or negotiated deals, are reported to the Exchange and displayed on the Exchange’s website.
Trades of TISE listed securities executed by non-Trading Members e.g. on other platforms or over the counter (OTC) trades, are neither reported to the Exchange nor displayed on the Exchange’s website.
Market Makers
Issuers can appoint a Trading Member as a Market Maker to provide market making services for their TISE listed securities in accordance with the Trading and Settlement Rules. This is subject to the Trading Member becoming registered with the Exchange as a Market Maker for those securities.
Market Makers are required to maintain and publish two-sided quotations which reasonably relate to prevailing market conditions and are within allowable spreads. These quotations are displayed on the Exchange’s website.
Market Makers must also actively offer to buy from, and sell to, another enquiring Trading Member at these quoted prices for a volume of securities being at least the minimum quotation size.
The following Trading Members are currently registered as Market Makers:
