Spot Trading

How it Works

The Climex Spot Exchange provides cleared spot trading on an easy-to-use, secure online platform. Registration on the Climex Spot Exchange is required. To become a participant, please fill out the registration form.

Spot Trading on Climex involves three easy steps:

  1. Transfer money and Credits (CERs/EUAs) to your Climex accounts.
  2. Buy or Sell Credits.
  3. Transfer money and Credits back to your private accounts.


1. Transfer money or credits (EUAs/CERS) into your Climex accounts
When you have transferred money into your Climex Bank Account and Credits (EUAs/CERs) into your Climex EUA/CER Account, you can start trading. In the bottom left corner of the Climex Spot Exchange you can see the balances of both your bank and Credit accounts (see screenshot below). Both your bank account and EUA/CER accounts can be managed easily within Climex.

2. Start trading by buying or selling credits
Once money and credits are available you can start trading. Select the type of credits you want to trade and use these buttons to post your order:

To post a buying order;
To post a selling order.

By posting an order you show the market that you either want to buy or sell EUAs/CERs. You can also click on an order already on the screen to buy or sell immediately. You can only post or respond to an order on the screen if you have enough money or credits in your account. (See screenshot of the Climex order book below.)

Entering into a transaction is possible in two different ways:

  • Automatically: When an order matches an order already showing on the screen, the system automatically matches them.
  • Manually: All participants can click on orders on screen to buy or sell, as long as they have enough money or credit available.

Transactions are shown in the top credit corner of the screen. The balances of your accounts are automatically updated after every transaction.

After a transaction, money and credits remain available on the platform and can be used for trading again.

3. Transfer money and Credits back to your private accounts
You can transfer money and credits back into your private bank or register account by using the ‘transfer request’ on the menu.
