Auction Regime

Trading in the auction regime is based on the processing of buy and sell orders for investment instruments concentrated at a fixed point in time. The outcome of trading is the determination of an auction price, the degree of allocation (amount of orders filled, expressed as a percentage) and a market status code.

During the period set aside for the auction regime, only the receipt (modification, cancellation) of orders takes place. No continuous information is published.

The unit of trading is 1 item.

For the establishment of an auction price, the main criteria is the achieving of the greatest traded quantity of investment instruments, followed by the minimum excess supply or demand. In cases where an auction price has not been established by either of these criteria, the auction price becomes the lower price in the case of excess supply or the higher one in case of excess demand.

The tick size is the smallest possible change between a new and a previous price listing:

stocks bonds
price tick size price tick size
do 200 CZK 0.01 CZK do 200 % 0.01 %
200.   - až 1.000 CZK 0.10 CZK nad 200 % 1.00 %
nad 1.000 CZK 1.00 CZK    


If a price is to be set that does not correspond to the tick size, such a price is changed by the AOS (Automated Trading System) to the nearest tick towards the midpoint of the allowable spread.

The Auction Regime consists of three phases:

  • Orders Collection (05:00 p.m. - 08:00 p.m.)
  • Opening Auction (08:45 a.m. - 09:10 a.m.)
  • Closing Auction (04:00 p.m. - max. 04:07 p.m.)

Opening Auction is the price-fixing segment for securities assigned to Trading Group 2.
Closing Auction is the price-fixing segment for securities assigned to Trading Group 3.

Trades concluded in the auction regime are Exchange trades. Guarantees of the Exchange Guarantee Fund apply to those trades.
Settlement of these trades is realised in a deadline of T+3.

Market status codes:

1 – perfect balance of supply and demand (all orders have been filled in full)
2 – local supply surplus (only sell orders with a limit price equal to the new auction price are reduced; the trade is completed)
3 – local demand surplus (only buy orders with a limit price equal to the new auction price are reduced; the trade is completed)
4 – global supply surplus (all sell orders with a limit price less than or equal to the new auction price are reduced; the auction price is set at the lower limit of the permitted margin, and the trade is completed)
5 – global demand surplus (all buy orders with a limit price greater than or equal to the new auction price are reduced; the auction price is set at the upper limit of the permitted margin, and the trade is completed)
6 – total supply surplus (the allocation level is below 20%; the auction price is set at the lower limit of the permitted margin, and the trade is not completed)
7 – total demand surplus (the allocation level is below 20%; the auction price is set at the upper limit of the permitted margin, and the trade is not completed)
8 – not listed (no orders were submitted or demand does not match up with supply; the previous auction price remains, and the trade is not completed)
