Lit Order Book

Cboe's lit order books provide visible and non-displayed order types with a price-time priority.

There are four categories of order types on our lit order books:

  • Visible orders
  • Hidden orders
  • Peg orders
  • Interbook orders

Dark Order Books

Cboe's dark order books provide mid-point matching with time priority matching designed to minimise information leakage. They are separate dedicated order books offering the same securities, clearing, markets traded and core trading hours as the lit books.

The dark order books have two order types:

  • Midpoint peg orders
  • Minimum acceptable quantity
