DISSEMINATING FLOOR QUOTES FROM OPEN OUTCRY MARKETS

摘要

One or more methods may be used to disseminate floor quotes from an open outcry financial market, such as via messages posted on a social network. These messages may include additional information for providing “color” to the price quotation. In some cases, a method of disseminating the floor quotes may include receiving, at a computer device, a request from a trader to receive an authenticated user name associated with a financial exchange. The financial exchange may then permit the trader to post one or more messages to a social network using the authenticated user name, where the message includes information about a trade on the financial exchange.
