| Continuous Trading | |
 A method of transacting different securities orders. Continuous trading involves the immediate execution of orders upon their reception by market makers and specialists. |
|
 Unlike batch trading, which collects similar orders and executes them all at once, continuous trading entails the immediate placement of orders to market. In the U.S., all trades occur on a continuous basis except at opening. For example, a limit order to sell a security is immediately sent to market and remains there until either the order expires or a buy order with a higher or equal buying price is sent to market. |
