When we 1st moved to the NYSE AMEX..yes. I'm not there anymore but there are very few MM left and less brokers. Not loud anymore.

Do you miss the noise? Last place I traded we had voice over from the T-note pit coming over the squawk during the US session - sometimes helpful in judging the move alongside what you could see on your screens. Drove some people nuts though!

Are those mostly DOMs they are looking at with the red and blue columns?

 

[J.R.]

Yep, ladders instead of order tickets. Here's a close up...

Yep, and yep. DOM instead of order ticket. There are grids/matrices where you can 1-click trade when looking at say Euribor strips and spreads etc. Most popular is definitely ladders like this though.
