Cevap

The First Market matches with trading exchange-listed securities on an exchange floor/system; the Second Market matches with OTC trading of unlisted securities; the Third Market matches with OTC trading of exchange-listed securities; and the Fourth Market matches with direct institutional trading via ECNs.
