What is it?

• The gateway manages communication between the execution platforms and EEX/ECC, including network infrastructure
• Trade details are mapped into the relevant fields and values required by the clearing house and sent through the appropriate messaging system
• Status updates from EEX/ECC are communicated back to the execution platforms and their users, as well as information for operational administrators

Features

• Optimisation – Where possible alter contract submissions to minimise fees
• Control – Feedback and alerts for problems/rejections, including hooks for third party back-office applications
