Your Advantages:

  • Always the best Xetra price: With Xetra price improvement, you automatically secure the best available price when trading stocks, ETFs, and ETPs.
  • Lower costs, higher returns: Tighter spreads reduce your costs and ultimately increase your returns. Additionally, transaction fees for banks and brokers are reduced – an advantage that is often passed on to you.

  • Exchange security: You trade on Europe's largest regulated exchange – with established market supervision and proven protection mechanisms.
  • Full transparency: Open order book, visible price improvements in your watchlist and price lists – on our platform, you always see what you get.
  • Fair market conditions: Multiple market makers compete for your order – this pushes spreads down and improves your execution prices.

Longer Xetra trading hours for private investors: now from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Since December 2025, your Xetra trading has become significantly more flexible. The previous main trading hours from 9:00 to 17:30 have been extended with early and late trading sessions – giving you continuous access to Europe's largest liquid exchange from 8:00 to 22:00, for 14 hours a day.

Important: The extended trading hours only apply if your bank or broker participates. Check the overview on the right to verify this.

How does this work?

Specialized trading partners – known as market makers – provide buy and sell quotes for retail investors that can be within the usual spreads. This ensures your orders are executed at the current Xetra price or better.

Additionally, transaction fees for these executions have been reduced – provided your bank or broker participates in the service and passes the advantage on to you.

The offer applies to all approximately 1,000 stocks and 3,000 ETFs or ETPs traded on Xetra.
