Indonesia Stock Exchange live with Nasdaq OMX trading system

The Nasdaq OMX Group (Nasdaq:NDAQ) has reached a milestone together with its long standing customer Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) following last week's successful launch of a new trading system provided by Nasdaq OMX Market Technology.
The new platform named "JATS-NextG" has modernized IDX's trading operations. It will replace the two trading systems previously used at Jakarta and Surabaya Stock Exchanges, which in 2007 merged to form IDX. With JATS-NextG, IDX will be able to trade all its financial products, including equities, derivatives, mutual funds and bonds, on one single platform. The system also enables significantly increased trading volume and has greater flexibility to accommodate the fast growing and dynamic Indonesian market.

"The aim of the new system was to meet the future needs of the Indonesia capital market and to maintain proper, efficient and orderly trading. To meet with future demands, the JATS-NextG is designed to handle up to 1,000,000 orders and 500,000 transactions per day, a much bigger capacity compared to the previous system that could handle 360,000 orders and 200,000 transactions per day. The new system also facilitates the trading of all financial products in one platform and enables an integrated distribution of trading information and surveillance on all products traded in the Exchange," said Mr. Erry Firmansyah, President Director of IDX.
"We are proud to list IDX among our customers and we look forward to support them in their future growth," said Lars Ottersgard, Senior Vice President & Head of Market Technology at NASDAQ OMX. "We believe in the growth potential of the Indonesian capital markets. The recent successful launch further strengthens IDX's ability to support the development of the Indonesian market and to increase liquidity for its members and institutions. In addition, this launch strengthens NASDAQ OMX's presence in the Asia Pacific region, where our technology today powers 12 exchanges."

Why the Treasury Markets?

The Treasury markets were chosen primarily because of liquidity. The 30-Year Bonds and 10-Year Note markets are among the most liquid futures markets there are with the Bonds routinely showing Bids and Offers over 300 a side and the Notes over 500 a side.

What this means to the scalper is that execution in the Treasury markets should rarely, if ever, be a problem. This is a significant issue for any speculator and should be addressed before trading any market and Treasury$calper has done so.

Capital Markets

The sub-prime difficulties that began in 2007 have escalated into a far more deep-seated crisis of funding, confidence and, for some institutions, even survival.

Balance sheets are coming under intense scrutiny. Trading, lending and business development strategies and the bases of valuation and compensation that underlie them are being re-examined. Recent market events have also raised questions about the approach to governance, risk management and disclosure within many banking and capital markets organisations.
Effective integration of risk management into governance and business decision-making will be critical in companies’ ability to restore market confidence and move forward. Many banks may also need to adjust reward strategies to take greater account of risk and longer term business objectives.

Underlying considerations include ensuring that staff have the skills, motivation and empowerment to operate within an increasingly challenging, regulated and unfamiliar market environment. Institutions will also need to ensure that all aspects of the business are leveraged to their full potential – transaction banking activities are a prime example.
The shake-up in the market is opening up a range of opportunities for acquisition and business development. Companies that have emerged largely unscathed are in a particularly strong position to expand through M&A. In turn, the range of targets is increasing as more and more groups seek to raise capital or re-focus on core competencies through divestment.
