Cboe Market on Close – DEFI Case Study

The Closing Call on Cboe Canada’s NEO-L Trading Book is a blind auction that runs alongside the continuous trading session on each trading day. The Closing Call applies exclusively to eligible Cboe Canada listed securities and functions similar to closing auctions currently in use on other North American exchanges. The Closing Call consists of multiple phases, during which auction update messages containing imbalance information are disseminated.

Matching Priority of Orders

  • Market-on-Close (MOC) orders
  • Better priced limit, Limit-on-Close (LOC), and Late Limit-on-Close (LLOC) orders
  • Limit, LOC, and LLOC orders priced at the Calculated Closing Price

If there are multiple orders within each order type above, they will be executed in broker, NEO trader, and/or time priority order. Note: dark and Odd Lot orders are not eligible for the Closing Call.

The Cboe MOC presents trading opportunities for those nimble enough to participate and provide contra liquidity in the event an imbalance occurs.
