included in index calculations

How do I know I won't be matched with someone I can't trade with?

All market participants create and maintain a list of counterparties with whom they can trade. Permissions can be conditional (e.g. buy only, sell only) or time-bound (limited to certain periods along the forward curve).
We'll show you the bids and offers of counterparties with whom you can trade in the red. Those of other parties will be in pink, and won't be executable.
