Vision & Mission

MEX facilitates electronic derivatives trading through robust and tested trading platform, Automated Trading System (ATS).

When an order is placed on the exchange, the server at MEX scans through the orders posted on it from all its trading terminals. It then locates and matches the best counter-offers/bids by maintaining anonymity of the counter-parties. Anonymity helps is eliminating formation of cartels and other unfair practices, thereby protecting the efficiency of price-discovery at the Exchange. MEX is the first commodity exchange to provide trading facility through internet.

MEX follows best international risk management practices. The contracts are marked to market on daily basis. The system of upfront margining based on Value at Risk is followed to ensure financial security of the market. In the event of high volatility in the prices, special intra-day clearing and settlement is held. MEX has also set up a Trade Guarantee Fund. Well-capitalized in-house clearinghouse assumes central counter-party risk of settlement. MEX is the first to initiate process of dematerialization and electronic transfer of warehoused commodity stocks. The unique strength of MEX is its settlement mechanism, an imperative in the commodity trading business. Deliveries are executed through a sound and reliable warehouse receipt System, leading to guaranteed clearing and settlement.

MEX is offering world class services of on-line Trading of commodities and efficient Clearing and guaranteed settlement, while complying with statutory requirements. Our trading, clearing and settlement mechanism can be compared with world renowned derivative exchanges. We believe to take a new leap to ensure continual improvement and sophistication of customer services and remain quality leader amongst all commodity exchanges.
