Exchange prepares for all-electronic trading “Another large, national, iconic symbol had to be closed down due to this virus. It is showing us that nobody is immune,” said one trader.

The New York Stock Exchange, which was founded in 1792, has a long history and a proud heritage, and it has continued to rely on men and women to execute some transactions in person even as its competitors have moved to fully electronic trading. These days, there is less yelling and paper, and the floor isn’t as crowded as it used to be. “It’s really a bit of a facsimile of what it once was,” said Richard Sylla, a financial historian at NYU’s Stern School of Business and chairman of the Museum of American Finance. “It’s a bit of a fossil now.” Floor traders see themselves as bulwarks against market volatility, but technology has improved dramatically — circuit breakers halt trading automatically when the market takes a deep dive. Some investors and outside observers, including Sylla, wonder if, by closing the trading floor temporarily, the exchange is crossing the Rubicon.
