    “View looking southeast from [The Art Institute] gallery into reconstructed room.” Originally published in The Stock Exchange Trading Room, 1977. 80 Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/1526381041165476 by guest on 25 September 2021 The Stock Exchange: Standing Upright, Idle CATHERINE INGRAHAM It is clear, in any case, that mathematical order imposed upon stone is really the culmination of the evolution of earthly forms, whose direction is indicated within the biological order by the passage from the simian to the human form, the latter already displaying all the elements of architecture. Man would seem to represent merely an intermediary stage within the morphological develop- ment between monkey and building.1 One room, the second-floor Trading Room, of Louis Sullivan’s Stock Exchange Building (1863) in Chicago, has been preserved (1977) in the Chicago Art Institute for museum visitors to see and for the museum to use for banquets and fund-raising events.2 Housing architecture, or parts of architecture, in a museum has always been odd. Short of leaving architectural fragments lying around where they fell—the scenic architectural ruin that becomes its own museum—architecture is typically brought into the museum in miniaturized or schematic or cinematic form; as a model, drawing, photograph, or film. On some occasions—the stock exchange trading room is one such occasion— architectural parts are brought into a museum context and completely recon- structed at the original scale. The Pergamon Museum in Berlin houses pilfered building fragments (gates, walls) from Babylon that seem almost plausible architecturally, perhaps because the museum building itself and the colossal fragments are in rooms whose scale is already so large that nothing but archi- tectural remains can be imagined inside them.

  • Futures Trading Rooms: 7 Reasons You Should Stay Away
    Futures Trading Rooms: 7 Reasons You Should Stay Away Futures Trading Rooms – 7 Reasons You Should Stay Away Futures trading rooms are probably the next step in the evolution of marketing hype that can entice the gullible traders for all the wrong reasons. In the world of online trading, there is no dearth of misinformation. From books to trading courses and well, trading rooms, without due diligence, it is quite easy for anyone to unwillingly fall prey to false information. This can be quite detrimental to one’s trading success especially if the pattern is caught quite early on. The amount of choices that are available especially for someone who is new to trading can often lead to making false choices which lead to losing money rather than making money trading the financial markets. Even before one has dabbled in trading online, chances are that the lure of making it rich and the easy path to success have already blinded the potential trader. It is easy and perhaps understandable as to why one wouldn’t be tempted to take the easy route. No matter which market you look at, stocks or forex or even futures, it is not very difficult to miss out on the various advertisements screaming at you telling how easy it is to make money by joining the trading room. If you have been wondering or thinking about joining a futures trading room either in expectations that you might make a fortune trading based off an expert’s trading calls or hoping to learn more by hanging out with other traders in the trading chat room, here are seven reasons why you should stay away from joining a futures trading room.

Tools of the Trade: The Socio-Technology of Arbitrage in a Wall Street Trading Room Daniel Beunza and David Stark Abstract Our task in this paper is to analyze the organization of trading in the era of quantitative finance. To do so, we conduct an ethnography of arbitrage, the trading strategy that best exemplifies finance in the wake of the quantitative revolution. In contrast to value and momentum investing, we argue, arbitrage involves an art of association - the construction of equivalence (comparability) of properties across different assets. In place of essential or relational characteristics, the peculiar valuation that takes place in arbitrage is based on an operation that makes something the measure of something else - associating securities to each other.
