• All-electronic trading to took effect Monday, March 23 at the open
• The NYSE equities trading floor in New York, the NYSE options trading floor in New York, and the NYSE Arca Options trading floor in San Francisco closed.

While the NYSE trading floor used to hold thousands of brokers and traders, only about 250 traders are typically on these floor these days. Over a dozen firms or so have quit the floor, or merged with larger firms, since the start of 2018, leaving about 35 in business, according to official data. That’s down from hundreds in the 1990s.
