EuroLight is the trading platform which is used by all APX-ENDEX spot markets.

The system has proven to be robust and flexible, and is used for trading, settlement and notification.

The APX-ENDEX compatibility with Trayport’s GlobalVision Trading Gateway platform enables members to view full market depth, ensuring greater visibility and accessibility of APX-ENDEX’s spot market prices.

APX-ENDEX has developed an interface that allows members to use Trayport GlobalVision 8.5.2 as an alternate means of accessing APX-ENDEX spot markets. The interface has been developed to support the core functionality of both platforms.

The interface to EuroLight provides GlobalVision users with real time information on the spot markets the users are permitted to see. The data when displayed within GlobalVision preserves the anonymity of APX-ENDEX’s spot markets, it is therefore impossible to recognise the owner of an order unless they are a colleague within the same organisation.

The DataCapture system is an environment that provides members the ability to quickly and easily capture a range of information. The data available for capture is:

• Orders in the market
• Members own trades by contract time
• Members own trades by delivery period
• All trades
• Chargelines

The DataCapture process

Order and Trade information can be captured from the APX-ENDEX web server. Access is available either via the Internet or a leased line connection to APX-ENDEX. This environment is connected to the central database used by the trading application, thus delivering real-time information. To retrieve the data a request has to be made to a component situated at an APX-ENDEX web server. This request can be made by a custom-made member application or by using a standard web browser.

In the Back Office website you can view your invoices and query the APX-ENDEX spot trading database for your historical order, contract, invoice and settlement information. The Back Office website is intended for analysts, back office employees and financial officers. The Back Office website supports the main EuroLight trading system. To improve performance, data in the EuroLight application itself is limited to three days.
