OREANDA-NEWS. Please be advised that load testing of the ASTS (equities, bonds and FX) and SPECTRA (derivatives) trading and clearing systems is scheduled for 23 November.

The testing is to determine performance of the exchange's infrastructure and participants during peak market activity following trading system consolidation to the M1 Data Centre and changes to client connectivity schemes. The exchange will develop new system requirements and recommendations for client infrastructure based on the testing results.

The testing schedule and precise load profile for all systems will be published at a later date.
