Each market is divided into sectors; for example: the banking sector, the oil & gas sector, and the telecommunications sector. Each sector has its own indices that indicate the sector status and symbols that are traded through the system. Symbols price can rise or fall or stay unchanged depending on the trades done. Orders are placed on symbols; so symbols can be bought or sold by placing buy or sell order through the system. The symbols that a client buys are placed in the client's portfolio. Accordingly, the client portfolio indicates the client current status and the trades the client can do. The market open time is broken up into time slots called trading sessions.
