The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), which dates back to 1792, is the largest stock exchange in the world based on the total market capitalization of its listed securities. A series of mergers has given the NYSE its massive size and global presence.

In this article, we will introduce different tapes and equity markets in NYSE.

NYSE (Tape A)

Tape A is NYSE-listed stocks. NYSE (Tape A) represents a venue for all Tape A stocks.

NYSE (Tapes B&C)

Tape C represents NASDAQ-listed stocks and it also traded on NYSE.

Tape B is the regionals. Most of Tape B is on NYSE Arca (explained below) nowadays, though some of it is still on the NYSE market, formerly known as AMEX.

And these are the examples of NYSE Shadow Testing.
