DIRECT MARKET ACCESS (DMA)

Direct Market Access (DMA) is a set of software and hardware of a KASE member that communicates with KASE's trading system and is designed for conclusion of deals based on client orders of DMA-clients

DMA is aimed at institutional investors and traders implementing algorithmic and high-frequency strategies on the stock market. DMA-clients of a broker may send orders

DMA-clients of a broker can send orders immediately to KASE's trading system and receive market data very quickly, using advanced technical solutions.

Clients' orders are generated by DMA-clients independently (without immediate participation of KASE members) using DMA systems and are forwarded to KASE members through DMA systems in electronic form. DMA-clients' orders are liable for accelerated procedures of registration, checking, verification, accounting and execution of client orders.
