    • Trading Members or investors can view bid/ offers posted on BSE DB and directly contact the counter party Trading Member(s)/ investor(s) to discuss and conclude the trade. There will be no matching of trades in the system.
    • Trading Members will have a facility to modify/ cancel the bids/offers and the updated status will be displayed on BSE DB platform.
