How do places like the NYSE trading floor work? How do they get anything when all you ever see is people shouting at each other?
In:
Modern stock trading is done almost exclusively by bots. The NYSE floor is a leftover from a bygone era.
Even when stock trading was actually done on the NYSE floor it was not generally as frantic as movies portray it to have been.
If you go to the actual NYSE today, the space is all taken up by servers and desks for people to sit at their computers. The most action you see on the main floor area is tour groups, not traders doing anything.
