Everyday Occurrence Traders Deal With In Trading Rooms

By Gregory Stevens


The stock market is a financial market where buying and selling of stocks took place. Some financially able and business minded people like to invest in the stock market. They study the stock market each business day. They took notice of which fund is falling and which is rising in prices. What the majority was not aware of is that all the financial trades happen in the trading rooms.

Traders buy and sell various securities in these rooms such as stocks, commodities, and foreign exchange. They represent their respective clients in their work. Trade occurs either via online trade markets, phone calls, and others.

Aggressive is the term most likely suitable for this kind of environment. As such, traders must have the qualities and characteristics under the belt to better prepare them in handling trade. They must be knowledgeable in understanding the stock market. Experience will gain them bonus points in handling financial loses. Due to that, they will make use of their risk capital which is a pool of funds that they can give up to achieve major financial gains in investments.

Traders should have the ability to think of a strategy to minimize loses. Their strategies will give them an advantage against risks and to gain profits. It may be arbitrage, swing trading, trading news, and mergers and acquisitions. Each strategy have their own accompanying risks and rewards with swing trading having high risks and high rewards. Lastly, they must have the discipline to wait for these strategies to bear fruit. Failures are expected however in the long run, it will eventually gain profits.

It is hard to get a word across in an environment like this. Hence, they apply open outcry method. This method has the traders shout and use gestures daily just to get attention form others and to transfer important information. This is one of the most fast paced environments in the business industry where traders need to pay constant attention.

To communicate their offers and bids, there are three specific ways to do this. The first is for them to scream really loud to share information. Second is wildly waving their arms and body to grab attention. Lastly are hand signals which are the tamest action when compared to the first two.

Deals are made between the two traders. Upon agreement, the clearing member of both parties will inform the clearinghouse about their deal. The clearinghouse will try to match their deals with each other and if it does, the traders will claim acknowledgement on the said deal.

In the event that the opposite occurs, then the deal is defined as out trade. There are two reasons why this happen. One, parties have not come into an understanding. Second, one of them made an error on the agreement. They will try to get this resolved before the next trading day which is costly on their part. However, both will try to find a way to resolve the issue and seal the deal.

It is common for informal contracts to occur. With all the shouting and wild gestures happening, no one is able to make time to write one. These informal contracts are considered binding and sealed. Trust is implied and implicitly given between traders. Should breach of contract happen then the stock exchange will be affected the next business day.
