There are several different types of financial exchanges in which the trading of securities takes place. On one end of the spectrum, there is the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations system, known as the NASDAQ, which is the largest screen based security trading system in the united systems. At the complete opposite end of the spectrum are Electronic Communication Networks. ECNs are small often independent trading screen based platforms that allow for exchange. These two different exchange types are completely different; there are many benefits and also drawbacks to each individual system.
