Institutions trade on Cboe BIDS Europe through a designated broker model, which is similar to the sponsored user model offered by BIDS Trading. This model allows institutions to choose from a list of “designated brokers” to clear and settle trades just as if a client traded with them directly. Designated brokers have a pre-existing relationship with an institution and are members of Cboe European Exchange, so they can clear and settle the trade. An institution must select a designated broker prior to submitting a firm order to trade through Cboe BIDS Europe.
