SEAQ : London Stock Exchange Automated Quotation SystemThere are now over 1,500 listed companies whose bid and offer prices are quoted on SEAQ. SEAQ is essentially a price-information service and not a trading system. It can be accessed through a number of screen based information services. Trades are therefore carried out either by phone or online. SEAQ provides: - prices quoted by market makers - the number of trades reported (above £1,000 in value) - the best bid/offer prices with upto three market makers prepared to deal - an automatic trade execution service It would be fair to say that unless you plan to become a market maker or stock broker, the chances of you needing to know the above information is quite slim. Obviously, some pages and information I feel that I need to add for the sake of clarity. Apologies! To read more about the LSE and FTSE, please visit the following pages:
