[edit] Expansion

I've tried to expand significantly on the stub. However, the content I've provided is obviously tainted by my own experiences - some input from others in the industry, particular from equities, commodities or FX would be good. --Jack 18:08, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Electronic trading vs Etrading

I can't recall hearing any traders or exchange officials refer to electronic trading as "etrading" in the last few years.

[edit] First stock market?

The final statement "NASDAQ, set up in 1971, was the world's first stock market" can't possibly be correct, right? There have been stock markets of the more-or-less modern model since the 17th century. Does the author mean "first wholly electronic stock market", or something like that?

I understand that at least the "electronic" word is missing on the last statement. According to NASDAQ's article, it was more like an bulletin board system.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 09:16, 25 April 2006 (talk) 65.197.203.67

[edit] Merge proposal Electronic trading with ETrading

Suggest merging with ETrading—Preceding unsigned comment added by 0:58, 23 May 2007 (talk) 205.228.73.11

Absolutely agree. Looks like the second was created without knowledge of the first. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 16:17, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Agree. Should merge ETrading and ETrading Platforms to here. Thye all need references and cleaning up. Smallbones (talk) 19:00, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Speedy Agree....Per above--Hu12 (talk) 19:03, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Now merged and ready for you all to clean it up. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 05:04, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Expert Advisors

Does an Expert Advisors section belong in Electronic trading or in Algorithmic trading? --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 07:40, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Neither. I did some web searching - probably not encyclopedic. Let's remove it. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 07:53, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
