Also known as electronic trading, it is a mode of trading that brings together a buyer and a seller through electronic media to create a virtual market place. Electronic trading screens have become the natural evolution of the stock markets and other financial sectors. Traditionally these industries used to be physical locations where buyers and sellers met and negotiated. However with the improvement in communications technology, the need for a physical location no longer as important as the buyers and sellers can exchange indications of interests as well as negotiate from a remote location – all online and in real-time.
