Ticker Tape

Ticker Tape refers to a continuous strip of paper on which Stock prices and other financial information are printed, originally used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for transmitting real-time market data via telegraph. The term is now often used to describe the electronic scrolling display of Stock prices on screens.

Examples:

• In the past, ticker tape machines would print Stock prices and transaction volumes, allowing brokers to track market movements.
• Modern Stock exchanges display real-time price information on electronic ticker tapes that scroll across large screens in trading floors.

Cases:

• The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) uses electronic ticker tape to broadcast Stock prices to traders and investors.
• During significant market events, ticker tape often experiences high volume, reflecting rapid price changes.
