How can you use “ecns” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
A stock listed on only one exchange during the day--say, the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq--can be traded after-hours on any number of ECNs.
Since ECNs are not linked to one another, a stock's price may vary from exchange to exchange.
To prevent investors from getting badly burned, after-hours ECNs accept only "limit orders" (bids in which the investor names the highest price at which he'll buy or lowest price at which he'll sell) instead of the "market orders" (in which the investor accepts the prevailing market price) common during the day.
In the past two years, investors have begun to make trades without a middleman by using electronic communications networks, or ECNs.
