Island Exchange is a kind of stock exchange. The Island Exchange is an electronic order-matching system that gives brokerage firms the power to electronically display and match stock orders for retail and institutional investors. Island is a fair and impartial stock trading forum where buyers and sellers meet directly. Island's efficient and reliable system reduces costs to both brokerage firms and investors, each day transacting more than $5 billion in volume in 1999.

The alternative trading pioneer, Island was located online and is headquartered in New York City.

At present, Island is a part of NASDAQ.

Since Island was integrated into NASDAQ, old URLs: http://www.isld.com/ and http://www.island.com/ are not working anymore (though domain name registrations are active), and informational URL: http://www.inetats.com/ takes you directly to NASDQ trading system Web site: http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/. Worst of all, free access to the popular BookViewer (real-time access to exchange order book) is terminated.
