Exchange membership

Trader admission

Any person that shall be authorized to trade at Eurex Deutschland on behalf of a trading participant needs to be admitted by Eurex Deutschland as an exchange trader first.

Each trading participant of the Eurex Deutschland may have an unlimited number of traders. However, all trading participants must have at least one admitted trader to fulfill the admission requirements of Eurex Deutschland.

Furthermore, admission as an exchange trader is only possible on behalf of a single trading participant. If an exchange trader moves to another company, the trader admission associated with the former company must first be terminated, and a new exchange trader admission for the new company must be applied for.

Traders who are to trade for an admitted trading participant at Eurex Deutschland must be reliable and possess the necessary expertise and practical knowledge in accordance with the Admission Regulations for Exchange Traders at Eurex Deutschland.

Please register in the Member Section Portal and apply for authorization to create a trader admission application for Eurex Deutschland. After registration and approval, the admission application can be initiated directly within the Member Section Portal.

Admission Requirements

Exchange traders are admitted upon application by Eurex Deutschland, provided they are reliable and possess both the expertise and practical knowledge required for trading.

Expertise

To meet this requirement, candidates must either have  successfully passed the Eurex Exchange Trader Examination within the last two years prior to application, or have been admitted as an Exchange Trader at Eurex Deutschland for at least 12 months within the same two-year period prior to application (according to § 4 , clause 2 of the "Admission Regulations for Exchange Traders at Eurex Deutschland").

Practical knowledge

This requirement can be fulfilled either by participating in the functional Eurex System Training or proof of participation in trading on an exchange or a multilateral trading facility for a period of at least six months within the last two years prior to application (according to § 4 , clause 4 of the "Admission Regulations for Exchange Traders at Eurex Deutschland").

If you lack required expertise or practical knowledge, please book either the Eurex Exchange Trader Examination or the Eurex System Training – or both – as part of your admission application, depending on which qualification you are missing. Further information regarding the examination and system training can be found in the following section.
