- Operated by an investment firm or a market operator
- Which brings together multiple third-party buying and selling interests in financial instruments
- In the multilateral system
- In accordance with non-discretionary rules
- In a way that results in a contract.
MTFs are required under MiFID to comply with regulations about:

- Market surveillance.
The regulations for MTFs are similar to those applying to larger and more formal regulated markets (RMs).
However, the regulatory requirements for MTFs are lighter than the requirements for regulated markets.
