Price categories provide information on the method used to determine prices in the Xetra® electronic trading system or on the floor.

There are eight different price categories:

In floor trading:

• E = Opening price
• K = Spot price for securities with a daily price determination by the market maker, typically by 12.00 p.m.
• V = Variable trading in continuous listing, price determination is possible at all times

In Xetra® trading:

• A = Auction (regular auction)
• C = Continuous Trading
• F = Final Auction
• O = Opening Auction
• V = Volatility Interruption Auction
