A trading-room serves two types of business :
trading, and arbitrage, a business of investment banks and brokers, actors often referred to as the sell side.
portfolio management, a business of asset management companies and institutional investors, actors often referred to as the buy side.
Brokers and investment banks have set up their trading-room first, and large asset-management firms followed them subsequently.
The business type determines peculiarities in the organisation and the software environment inside the trading-room.
