Investopedia explains Forex Market

he foreign exchange markets isn't dominated by a single market exchange, but involves a global network of computers and brokers from around the world. Central banks use their massive buying and selling capabilities to alter exchange rates through their open market activities and in many cases will do so not with profit in mind, but rather for any number of policy reasons. Forex brokers act as market makers as well, and may post bid and ask prices for a currency pair that differs from the most competitive bid in the market.

Our his to Stock Exchangs

The London Stock Exchange is one of the world’s oldest stock exchanges and can trace its history back more than 300 years. Starting life in the coffee houses of 17th century London, the Exchange quickly grew to become the City’s most important financial institution. Over the centuries following, the Exchange has consistently led the way in developing a strong, well-regulated stock market and today lies at the heart of the global financial community.We are proud of our long history that has helped to build our reputation today. Here are some of the milestones in the story of the London Stock Exchange.1698John Castaing begins to issue “at this Office in Jonathan’s Coffee-house” a list of stock and commodity prices called “The Course of the Exchange and other things”. It is the earliest evidence of organised trading in marketable securities in London.1698Stock dealers are expelled from the Royal Exchange for rowdiness and start to operate in the streets and coffee houses nearby, in particular in Jonathan’s Coffee House in Change Alley.1720The wave of speculative fever known as the “South Sea Bubble” bursts.1748Fire sweeps through Change Alley, destroying most of the coffee houses. They are subsequently rebuilt.1761A group of 150 stock brokers and jobbers form a club at Jonathan's to buy and sell shares.1773The brokers erect their own building in Sweeting’s Alley, with a dealing room on the ground floor and a coffee room above. Briefly known as “New Jonathan’s”, members soon change the name to “The Stock Exchange”.1801On 3 March, the business reopens under a formal membership subscription basis. On this date, the first regulated exchange comes into existence in London, and the modern Stock Exchange is born.

Obama unveils

Spending and tax outline proposes dramatic health care overhaul - vows to slash deficit, projected at $1.75 trillion in '09.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- President Obama on Thursday pulled back the curtain on his first detailed vision of the federal budget for the next 10 years.
His outline includes an ambitious plan to reform health care, half of which would be paid for in great part by increasing the tax bite on high-income Americans.
Obama has said repeatedly that his first fiscal plan would have a two-pronged mission: to reduce the $1 trillion-plus deficit and make big investments in the future.
The administration estimates that the deficit for fiscal year 2009 will reach $1.75 trillion, or 12.3% of U.S. gross domestic product. That's a record in dollar terms and is the highest as a share of GDP since World War II.
Obama's promise: reduce the deficit he inherited to $533 billion by 2013.
"We will each and every one of us have to compromise on certain things we care about, but which we simply cannot afford right now. That's a sacrifice we're going to have to make," Obama said.
"What I won't do is sacrifice investments that will make America stronger, more competitive and more prosperous in the 21st century," he said.
Obama's outline also reveals how much more money he and his economic team are setting aside to stabilize the financial system. Their estimate: $250 billion. That would be on top of the $700 billion already authorized by Congress under the Troubled Asset Relief Program.

In Tape A securities, the routing fee to the NYSE using NYSE Arca’s Primary Sweep Order (PSO ) is $0.0016 per share, otherwise the standard routing fee applies as noted in the table. The Primary Sweep Order (PSO ) is a market or limit order that sweeps the NYSE Arca Book and routes any remaining balance to the primary listing market. All orders with a PSO designation should be marketable. Non-marketable orders will function as regular limit orders. The PO+ Order is an order type that allows users to send a directed order for immediate routing to the primary, listing exchange, without first sweeping the NYSE Arca Order Book. The order can be entered as an Immediate-or-Cancel (IOC) order, or as a Day Order that will remain open until the order is either executed or cancelled. Additionally, the new PO+ order type supports reserve orders. The rates for the PO+ Order sent to NYSE include a rebate of $0.0010 for liquidity adding and fee of $0.0018 for liquidity removing.
2. Mid-Point Passive Liquidity (MPL) is an undisplayed limit order that is priced at the mid-point of the Protected Best Bid and Offer (PBBO). MPL orders will generally interact with all order types including contra MPLs excluding: cross or directed orders. MPL orders will be entered as a limit order but are executable only at the mid-point of the NBBO. When the market is locked, eligible MPLs will trade at the locked price. MPLs have a minimum entry and execution size of 100 shares

The new inverted pricing structure will be in effect for a minimum of three months.
For all customers not reaching at least 60 million average daily share volume, the rates per share are as follows:
In Tape A and Tape C securities, all customers will receive a rebate of $0.0020 per share for resting MPL orders (previously $0.0010) and in Tape B securities the rebate is $0.0010 per share (previously zero).

All other transaction fees remain unchanged. NYSE Arca’s new pricing structure for all customers is summarized in the table below.

NYSE Equities Price Changes

“Recent pricing incentives for Designated Market Makers and Supplemental Liquidity Providers have contributed to significant increases in posted liquidity and NYSE market share gains,” said Joe Mecane, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, U.S. Markets. "We are further extending this incentive program by offering a compelling rebate to all NYSE customers, while continuing to maintain the lowest take rate for accessing liquidity.”
Effective March 1, 2009, the new NYSE fee schedule for customers and floor brokers will include the following changes and benefits:
Customer rebate per share for adding liquidity of $0.0010 (previously no rebate) in displayed and non-displayed orders. Floor broker rebate per share for adding liquidity of $0.0012 (previously $0.0004) in displayed and non-displayed orders. Benefits of posting orders on the NYSE include: 1) Highly competitive rebate for liquidity providing in non-displayed orders; 2) Access to superior take liquidity offering higher certainty of execution; 3) Participation in block sweeps from the New York Block Exchange (NYBX).
Transaction fee per share for removing liquidity of $0.0018 (previously $0.0008) for customers and floor brokers. The NYSE continues to offer the best take fee for accessing liquidity, which is 28%-40% lower than other major market centers;
Transaction fee per share for market-on-close (MOC) and limit-on-close (LOC) orders of $0.0005 (previously $0.0004) for customers and floor brokers. Participants will continue to benefit from the $120 fee cap on all transactions.
Transaction fee per share for odd lot transactions (including odd lot portions of partial round lots) of $0.0010 (previously $0.0004). The NYSE continues to offer the lowest take fee for removing odd lots, which is 60%-67% lower than other major market centers.

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and NYSE Arca, units of NYSE Euronext (NYX), today announced new transaction pricing, effective March 1, 2009, pending SEC filing. The NYSE fee change will include customer rebates for adding liquidity while continuing to offer the lowest transaction fees for taking liquidity in NYSE-listed securities among the major market centers. The fee change is expected to be rolled out in conjunction with significant NYSE execution speed improvements. The NYSE Arca fee change raises the rebate for active traders in Tape A (NYSE-listed) and Tape C (Nasdaq-listed) securities, as well as a higher rebate on Mid-Point Passive Liquidity (MPL) orders for all customers in all securities. Together, the dual-exchange model of the NYSE and NYSE Arca deliver the best rate combination among major exchanges and superior liquidity when trading NYSE-listed securities, in addition to the lowest take fee on NYSE and highest rebate on NYSE Arca.
In addition, NYSE Euronext’s Global Multi-Platform Incentive Program offers additional savings to active global customers trading on the NYSE, NYSE Arca and Euronext markets. The program provides rebates of 0.007€ and 0.003€ (per 100 shares) for customers with average daily volume of more than 450 million and 250 million shares, respectively.

New York Block Exchange Officially Launches Today

NEW YORK, NY – January 29, 2009 – NYSE Euronext (NYX) and BIDS Holdings, L.P., (BIDS Holdings) today announced the launch of their joint venture, the New York Block Exchange (NYBXSM ), an innovative new platform designed to maximize access to liquidity and improve execution quality in the U.S. equity block trading market. Institutional investors and other market participants can now execute block trades on NYBX, the first venue of its kind to allow non-displayed liquidity to anonymously access both the displayed and reserve liquidity of the NYSE order book, creating an innovative platform to re-aggregate blocks of stock.
“Given the speed and complexity of today’s dynamic marketplace, there is a need to resolve the problems inherent in executing block trades in an increasingly fragmented trading environment,” said Larry Leibowitz, Group Executive Vice President and Head of U.S. Execution and Global Technology. “As the first platform to unite dark and light sources of liquidity, NYBX will significantly reduce market fragmentation for large orders; electronically replicating traditional block trading. This represents a major advancement in block trading.”
“Today’s launch of NYBX marks a historic shift in the way market participants can execute block trades, representing a leap forward in the institutional trading environment,” said Tim Mahoney, Chief Executive Officer of BIDS Trading. “Previously, there had been a gap in electronically servicing block trades and we see NYBX as the most efficient trading solution. By combining the anonymity, speed and flexibility of the BIDS ATS with the world’s leading exchange, NYBX aims to improve block executions, provide unparalleled price discovery, and reduce fragmentation; giving traders a one-stop block trading service.”
BIDS Holdings and the NYSE Euronext each have a 50% ownership stake in NYBX. In addition, NYSE Euronext made an investment in BIDS Holdings in October 2006.
NYBX is open to all New York Stock Exchange members and to BIDS Trading subscribers via sponsored access. The BIDS Alternative Trading System, which is accessible to all broker-dealers, investment managers, hedge funds and algorithms, enables access to NYBX liquidity by allowing subscribers to opt-in on an order-by-order basis. Traders can set different prices and minimum trade sizes in each venue.
To effectively preserve anonymity and manage information leakage, original technology has been created specifically for the NYBX platform. NYBX will continuously search itself, as well as the NYSE order book, trading with displayed orders, reserve orders and hidden interest on the New York Stock Exchange, while keeping the order anonymous.

The New York Stock Exchange's Unique Market Model

The New York Stock Exchange utilizes a unique combination of market professionals and technology to provide customers with the highest levels of market quality and competitiveness.

Trading Floor Brokers leverage their physical point-of sale-presence with information technologies and algorithmic tools to offer customers the benefits of flexibility, judgment, automation and anonymity with minimal market impact.
Supplemental Liquidity Providers, the newest component of the NYSE, are electronic, high-volume members off the trading floor who are incented to add liquidity on the NYSE, complementing that of other quote providers. Taken as a whole, the NYSE is the only market to offer both high-tech automation for low latency and complete anonymity and high-touch participation by market professionals to create orderly opens and closes, lower volatility, deeper liquidity and improved prices.
