NYSE Euronext has migrated the NYSE Arca options and NYSE Amex options markets to the Universal Trading Platform. 

This migration marks a step in the expansion of the Universal Trading Platform, NYSE Euronext’s end-to-end trading solution. 

It follows the migration of the NYSE Arca equities market in January.

NYSE Euronext says its US options trading customers will now benefit from improved performance, while still maintaining the ability to trade options on separate market models with unique attributes.

Customers can continue to choose between the price-time priority model on NYSE Arca and the more traditional pro-rata/customer priority model on NYSE Amex.  

“The increased performance benefits, both in terms of latency and capacity, of the Universal Trading Platform will have a noticeable effect on our customers’ trading experience,” says Ed Boyle, executive vice president, head of US options. “We are pleased to leverage NYSE Euronext’s extraordinary technology assets to enable us to implement new products and services more efficiently to continue to better serve our customers and improve our markets.”
