The Thailand Futures Exchange (TFEX) is a subsidiary of the Stock Exchange of Thailand. [1] TFEX was ranked as the world's 45th-largest derivatives exchange by volume in 2010, falling one position from the year before, according to the annual volume survey published by the Futures Industry Association (FIA).[2] The FIA report, published in March of 2011, notes that the TFEX's total volume for 2010 was up by 38.2% from the previous year, reaching almost 4.25 million contracts.
Direct Market Access[edit]
TFEX allows brokers to offer direct market access (DMA) to clients, allowing them to connect their trading applications with a broker’s front-end system, enabling a client’s order to be automatically routed through a broker and into the exchange without being handled manually.[3].
