Note on the monthly statistics:
Boerse Stuttgart’s monthly statistics are reported on the basis of the order book turnover. The turnovers of all the securities traded on each trading day are documented clearly and verifiably. The recording of securities transactions by order book is practised by all intermediary-based German stock exchanges and serves as a basis for comparing trading turnovers. For the securitised derivatives asset class, Boerse Stuttgart also calculates the trading turnover according to the volume of customer orders executed and forwards these to the German Derivatives Association (Deutscher Derivate Verband - DDV). This ensures that comparisons between the different stock exchanges can also be made with regard to securitised derivatives.
