• Brokers, who buy and sell for you. Organized by the transaction and receive commissions, which could be 1% with a minimum of about 15 pounds.
• Market makers who buy and sell. They are the difference between the purchase and sale price of the spread (which is usually about 1%).

There is a new trading system, called the Order directed the negotiations (the old system is called negotiation trading engine) SETS are used for high-value business (Stock Exchange Electronic Trading System) by which buyers and sellers are matched automatically. However, the agreements are still in place by stockbrokers.
