摘要

As more exchanges rush to get all of their products on the screen, making them available to U.S and international traders, the deepest pools of liquidity anywhere in the financial futures universe are now available on the screen. Trading arcades and proprietary trading firms are growing and evolving. Some firms have created a hybrid by combining characteristics of both arcades and prop shops.

In an arcade, traders trade for their own account while in a prop shop, traders trade for the firm's account.
