Appendix A: Commodity Exchange Operating System, 1969
This Appendix describes the operating system of commodity exchanges that existed in 1969. The system is triggered by (1) a decision to buy or sell by a speculator or hedger or (2) customer intention to deliver. The schematic representation indicates that orders from speculators and hedgers are sent to members of the exchange. These orders are then transmitted to the trading floor to be matched in an area called the ring or pit, a name evocative of the unique architecture of trading floors at the Chicago Board of Trade.1 The diagram also contains a unit labeled “Locals,” an alternative term for floor traders. After a trade is consummated by either a broker or a principal (speculator or hedger) trading for their own account, it is recorded on an order or trading card. Trading cards and orders are put on the computers of the clearing members, who provide the information to the clearinghouse.
