Surviving Situations In The Trading Rooms

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.

Securities are being bought and sold to traders like commodities, foreign exchange and stocks. They are the representative of their own clients in doing trade in these rooms. Telephone, online markets and the like are the trades occurring here.

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.

Strategizing is the most important quality that they should have. It gives them an advantage over others in minimizing financial loses and evading risks. They could either adapt trading news, mergers and acquisition, arbitrage, or swing trading in to their disposal. Of these, only the last one can give high rewards and high risks to traders. They also must have discipline to not get mentally affected by failures and financial loses. It happens from time to time. Financial gains and profits will eventually materialize.

Open outcry method is the only and main method of communication in doing business in these rooms. As the name suggests, traders shout and use hand gestures to get attention and transfer information. This is a fast paced environment where if one blinks, he will miss the vital information.

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.

For a deal to be made, it needs at least two traders. When the agreement has been made, they send their respective clearing members to the clearing house and inform them of their arranged deal. Their office will check if both parties match in their agreements. If they have, they will then acknowledge their respective claims.

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.

Informal contracts are common here. It is because throughout the shouting, no one has the time to do a written one. Within these rooms, they are binding and should never be breached. Trust is the main key player that attracts traders to do business with the others. If not honored, this can affect the stock exchange market the next day.
