Each exchange‑listed security is traded at a specified location on the trading floor called the post. The trading is supervised by specialists who act either as brokers (bringing together buyers and sellers) or as dealers (buying or selling the stock themselves). Prominent international securities exchanges include the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and major exchanges in Tokyo, London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris, Hong Kong, and Mexico.
