Pre-market trade executions

[roryhunt22]

Hi Guys,

Bit of a newbie trade moment but I haven't been able to find an answer to this question. I use Iguana's Spark platform to watch the market and I have noticed that some trades execute during the pre-market auction. I know trading during pre-market is a possibility on the American markets, but my understanding was that actually executing trades during the pre-market auction period on the ASX was not possible. Can someone tell me how these trades are executed and whether this is something that the everyday retail trader has access to?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi, I'm presuming this is a Direct Market Access type platform with live feeds from exchanges but as is the IG DMA platform able to source prices from a range of liquidity providers who are able to trade off exchange.
