XTAuctions! is the only available software for Italian BOT, CCT and BTP auctions that enables bidders to access-real time grey market prices, to calculate automatically auction prices and to validate bids eliminating risk in price determination and typing.
XTAuctions! is a multi-user, multi-language, redundant and fault-tolerant application that manages all kind of auctions (BOT-CTZ-CCT auctions, medium long term, re-openings for Specialists) issued by Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF). Based on a 'Effective Users Interaction' paradigm, it presents a simple and effective GUI. The GUI has been studied and developed with the collaboration of auction traders; key points are fast and simplified creation, modification and transmission of bids, effective security checks base on two levels of error and an evident Real Time Clock to monitor remaining auction time.
