An exchange , for centuries known as a bourse , is in its basic form a market organized for the purpose of buying and selling investments, currencies, and other financial instruments. In days gone by, the buying and selling on an exchange was done on the floor of the exchange via an open outcry system with agents for buyers and sellers shouting and using hand signals to convey information about buy and sell orders.

Nowadays, open outcry is virtually extinct, and nearly every exchange is fully automated with computers handling the transfer of information regarding buy and sell referred to as bid and ask prices.
