The Nasdaq is a global electronic marketplace for buying and selling securities. Nasdaq was created by the National Association of Securities Dealers to enable investors trade securities on a computerized, speedy and transparent system. It commenced operations on February 8, 1971. The term, “Nasdaq” is also used to refer to the Nasdaq Composite, which is an index of more than 3,000 stocks listed on the Nasdaq exchange. The stocks include biotech giants such as Apple, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Amazon, and Intel.Nasdaq officially separated from the NASD and began to operate as a national securities exchange in 2006. In 2007, it combined with the Scandinavian exchange group OMX to become the Nasdaq OMX group, which is the largest exchange company globally, powering 1 in 10 of the world's securities transactions.The Nasdaq OMX has its headquarters in New York, where it operates 25 markets which include primarily equities, as well as options, such as fixed income, derivatives and commodities. It also operates one clearinghouse and five central securities depositories in the United States and Europe. The Nasdaq's cutting-edge trading technology is used by 70 exchanges in 50 countries. It is listed on the Nasdaq under the symbol NDAQ and has been part of the S&P 500 since 2008.The Nasdaq computerized trading system was initially devised as an alternative to the “specialist” system, which had been the prevalent model for almost a century. The rapid evolution of technology has made the Nasdaq's electronic trading model the standard for markets worldwide.The index crossed the 1,000 mark for the first time in July 1995, soared in the following years and peaked at over 4,500 in March 2000, before slumping almost 80% by October 2002 in the subsequent correction.Nasdaq achieved its highest-ever close on August 29, 2018, when its index peaked at 8109.69 points. In 2018, it was announced that the Nasdaq was planning to introduce cryptocurrency futures in conjunction with a prominent investment firm.

I det 27. afsnit af #pengemedper har jeg besøg af den administrerende direktør for Nasdaq OMX, Nikolaj Kosakewitsch. Vi kommer på lidt under 40 minutter rundt om: • Hvordan de danske aktier er avanceret fra at være skandinavisk lillebror til en sølvplads på størrelsespodiet i Norden • Hvorfor Nasdaq synes, at 5 danske børsnoteringer er tilfredsstillende i 2017 • At den samlede markedsværdi af de danske aktier er gået fra 1300 mia. DKK i 2012 og op til tæt på 3000 mia. i 2017 • At tillid, troværdighed, sikkerhed, teknologi og niche-mæssige verdensklasse-kompetencer er noget af det som udenlandske investorer tiltrækkes af i Danmark, således at hovedparten af de danske aktier i dag sidder på udenlandske hænder • At vi stadig halter bagefter Sverige, når det handler om at aktiekultur • At danske iværksættere hyldes for at sælge, men ikke for at starte og udvikle virksomheder • At overgangen fra C20 til C25 er et tegn på succes • At vi i Danmark de seneste 5 år er gået fra 24 til 42 large cap selskaber • At aktiesparekontoen blev for lille.

Trading Tech Talk 6: Interview with Blair Hull CTO Interview: Our guest on this episode is Blair Hull, Founder of Hull Trading, Founder of Ketchum Trading, and 2014 Sullivan Award recipient. He discusses: The 1987 crash If trading technology leveled the playing field The impact of multiple market centers on trading tech failures If HFT is a detrimental force in the financial markets Hot Topics in Tech: Exchanges are extremely concerned over cyber security. NY Attorney General Erick Schneiderman is looking at the "unfair advantages" high frequency traders have over regular investors. Futures traders embrace algorithms. European asset manager are moving to in-house electronic execution expertise. NASDAQ OMX ramps up technology sales to Asian exchanges. The Inbox: In which the listeners dictate the conversation. Question from Hawkeye - I want to know if HFT firms are allowed to jump to the front of the queue? If so, how is that justified?  Also, if so, why should they not get in back like everybody else? Please give me the justification for this practice. On a similar vein, I know that some platforms allow you to hide the number of actual shares/contracts you have bid/offered, and instead you can show a smaller number so that you do not tip your hand.  Do those remaining orders have to get in the back of the queue? Or are they also given favorable treatment?  Why should they be allowed to lie? Thanks     Looking Ahead: TT is releasing a web-based HTML 5 version of XTrader.

Trading Tech Talk 2: Hackers and Rogue Algos Hot Topics in Tech: Security of Financial Platforms Should we expect more attacks in the future? Is this the new norm going forward? What sort of realistic uptime expectations should institutional clients, end users of exchanges and vendors have in this environment? Are we approaching a point where retail clients should maintain multiple brokerage account to ensure access at all times? While the recent OPRA problem was limited to NASDAQ OMX, it highlights the issue of the entire industry fixating around a single point of failure. What risks does that pose to the marketplace? How do we address that as an industry? Rogue algos are not just the domain of equities and options anymore; futures are now under attack as well.   The Inbox: We're taking your questions Question from Amac:  Is there a way for small traders to see or get access to big options shows via IM? Seems like I am missing much of the picture. Question from T. NorvinUESTION:  What exactly is a sweep order? Can a sweep be used to lift liquidity without moving markets? I.e. Buy 10 on all vs. 100 on one exchange? The Lightning Round: A minute to win it Should customer open multiple brokerage accounts to avoid security risks? The industry will have a backup/alternate to OPRA in place by the end of 2014 - Yea or Nay? Will every major derivatives exchange experience some sort of systems outage/glitch in 2014? Will microwave transmission gain a foothold in the U.S. financial markets in 2014?
