This feels... not open. Click around the site, can't find anything useful just manifestos and principles. I really hate when startups do this. You're not "open for business" you're open to being in business. If you tell me you've started an exchange, you're open when there's listings and people can trade.



I am kind of confused. Does this site have a list of the actual listings? Maybe I'm not navigating this cboe site correctly but that just looks like some numbers.

Edit: For example if I wanted to invest in a business through LTSE today, is cboe how I would do so? What would my order flow look like?


CBOE maintains an exchange trading "market share" page, that's what I linked above. It shows the number of transactions that cleared today via code "L" on the SIP. That's LTSE.


I think you and I would need to lean on a Robinhood to do that. You can't walk up to NASDAQ / NYSE and perform a trade direct you need a broker.


Oh, I didn't know that this was on Robinhood! I can't find it at the moment but I'm not an experienced investor and not particularly savvy when it comes to the service. (I've got less than $5 on the app.)

It's correct that you can't just walk up to NASDAQ and make a trade, but I can find some information about what companies are listed there easily on their website. As far as I can tell, "open for business" kind of looks like "We've finished our copy about our ideals and goals and put it on a webpage" in this case.

I could be wrong or just totally missing the point but I still don't know what is listed or how to engage with it. Is it normal not to provide that information as a stock exchange?


correct

to find out if your preferred broker or market maker is a member of LTSE, you can ask FINRA: https://brokercheck.finra.org/


I do not have a preferred broker, and I have no idea how to find LTSE on Robinhood. I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but how would an average person find out what companies are listed on your exchange?


No companies are listed on our exchange - yet


Then how have $117m passed through your exchange? If no companies are listed on the LTSE, how are stocks being traded on the LTSE?


I would also like to know about this.

Edit: Also, he didn't quite answer my question. I asked how one would find out what companies are listed, not for a list of what's currently up.

I might assume that they'll eventually be on their website but I've now asked twice and gotten answers about "preferred brokers" and "market makers" (I honestly don't know what that is) and another saying that this stock exchange has no stock to exchange. Again, I am not savvy in this area but it seems reasonable that "how would I view what's available?" wouldn't be to difficult of a question. If the answer is "those listings aren't 'For you' as a non-professional investor" then I'd be happy being informed.


You can trade companies not listed on LTSE with LTSE.
