The trading platform used for the Belpex DAM is based on the electronic EuroLight® system. This system has a front and back-end structure, where the participants' front-end application is connected to the back-end systems of Belpex.

The Belpex EuroLight® system supports the following:

• fully electronic transmission and processing of all data, where all traffic is encrypted;
• real-time updates;
• highest availability even during peak times;
• high processing capacity, in particular for times of high volumes and concentrated activity;
• security standards compliant with the latest state-of-the-art technology;
• regular software updates, whereas Belpex' policy is to support at least the previous two software versions;
• direct access independent of the location for all participants via the internet (the recommended minimum connection speed is 128Kbit/s or better).

The Belpex EuroLight® system provides participants with a graphical user interface for the purpose of trading, as well as for real-time reporting. The most essential functions are:

• user-defined configuration of the graphical user interface in support of multiple user-defined views for most windows; user settings are stored in the central database so that users will always have their own views available irrespective of which workstation they are connecting from;
• display of the general market overview and detailed market depth per instrument, immediately following the fixing procedure;
• various order management and navigation possibilities;
• administration of orders;
• administration of contracts;
• full audit trail;
• exporting window contents to Excel;
• excel copy-paste compatibility with respect to order forms.
