24/5 Trading Comes to Germany as Baader Partners with Spectrum

Tuesday, 23/07/2024 | 06:55 GMT by Damian Chmiel
  • The new deal expands access to extended trading hours and diverse financial products for German retail investors.
  • Both companies aim to meet the growing demand for round-the-clock trading capabilities in Europe.
Open 24 hours

Spectrum Markets, the pan-European securities trading venue, announced today (Tuesday) that Baader Bank has become its newest trading member. This partnership will expand Spectrum's presence in Germany while providing Baader's growing retail broker client base with access to extended trading hours and a wider range of financial products.

Baader Bank Joins Spectrum Markets as New Trading Member

Baader Bank, a provider of securities and banking services in Europe with over four decades of experience, will serve as an intermediary, facilitating client trades on Spectrum's trading venue. This collaboration comes as demand for round-the-clock trading capabilities continues to rise among European retail investors.

Spectrum Markets' last-year reports showed that one in three of all transactions (32.3%) occurred after hours. Investors no longer want to trade only during set hours, and more companies, including eToro, Robinhood, and Interactive Brokers, are introducing extended trading times.

“Through Baader, brokers will enjoy access to a broader range of products, during extended hours, on a regulated trading venue,” said Nicky Maan, CEO of Spectrum Markets. “We are seeing a global shift in demand for round-the-clock trading, and this partnership means that Spectrum can tap into Baader’s extensive network but also expands our presence in Germany.”

The partnership is expected to benefit German retail investors by providing access to Spectrum's features, including 24/5 trading capabilities within a regulated environment. Baader's brokers will gain simplified connectivity to Spectrum's platform, streamlining the onboarding process and reducing costs.

Spectrum Markets, headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, has been expanding its presence across Europe since its launch in August 2019. The company operates as a MiFID II regulated trading venue authorized and supervised by BaFin, offering a range of financial instruments to retail investors in multiple European countries.

Spectrum Expands Collaboration with German Institutions

Spectrum Markets is not new to collaborating with German institutions. Just a month ago, the company incorporated funds from more than 30 international fund providers, enhanced by liquidity from German ICF BANK AG. This addition included over 1700 new ETFs, once again extending trading hours for retail investors.

Earlier in the year, Spectrum also partnered with the Frankfurt-based Federal Association of Investment Firms (Bundesverband der Wertpapierfirmen, bwf). By aligning with bwf, Spectrum Markets seeks to offer its insights into discussions that shape the future of the investment sector, focusing on forthcoming national and European regulatory and legislative initiatives concerning financial services and capital markets

In this interview, we sat down with Charlotte Bullock, Head of Product at The Bank of London, previously at SAP and now shaping product at one of the sector’s most ambitious new banking players. Charlotte reflects on the Summit so far and talks about the culture inside fintech banks today. We look at the pressures that come with scaling, and how firms can hold onto the nimble approach that made them stand out early on. We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

    In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX. We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers. We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.

    In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions. We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection. We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations. Aydin breaks down what “good” AI training looks like inside a financial environment, including the importance of clean data, domain expertise, and human oversight. He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.
