That pic was taken before they opened their trading floor.
And their intention was not to launch a 'Pit' as we know it.
But to allow certain types of trade that regulator wise, are hard to be done electonically.

 

====floor trading for yourself vs day trading on computer?===

it does not matter, as long as one knows what he is doing

 

And when you say as long as you know what you're doing, does that mean perfecting the old school floor trading hand signals?

 

I have no clue what that means now

 

Floor trading is a dinosaur, this shouldn't even be a thread.

 

can someone just answer my question

it people are still trading on the floor today there must be a good reason for it

 

Whatever, it does not affect the meaning of what I said.

 

It’s because they have lost so much money they can’t afford a chair.

 

Man are you dense? Nobody trades on the floor any more.

 

There are still a few pits trading on the floor. The SPX and VIX at the CBOE being the main ones. The people in there generally are in larger well capitalized groups.
