What functionality does Eurex Improve include?

The functionality of Eurex Improve is accurately represented by the chosen answer regarding customer orders tied to an Improve Request. When an Improve Request is initiated for a customer order, it allows for the execution of that order at a specified price or better, which enhances the likelihood of a more favorable outcome for the trader. This mechanism offers flexibility and potentially reduces transaction costs by ensuring that trades are executed under optimal conditions.

The other options, while related to trading functionalities, pertain to different aspects that do not define Eurex Improve’s core purpose. For instance, offsetting surpluses during auctions and the response time of market makers during stressed market conditions are operational aspects that do not capture the essence of the Improvement Requests. Additionally, netting of off-book trades pertains more to settlement processes rather than the specific functionalities provided by Eurex Improve, which is centered around improving the execution quality of customer orders.
