 Alterntive trading sytems are much more common today than at any other time in history. In the past stock trading was always a very traditional world where you went to see your stock broker is his office and he asked you what you would like to do with your money. Then he would explain the options that you had and what he thought would be best. You then asked him to do what he though was right, as he was the expert. But in more recent times people have wanted a much greater degree of control over what they are doing with their money. They have much better access to information and can see for themselves what is happening to the market and where they think that their money would do best. Although they might still need some type of trading system to do the actual buying and selling for them, they very often like to do as much as they can for themselves.
 With the new technologies and the Internet, people are much more able to have control over what they are doing with their money and they have all the information that they need to make the right decisions. There is also so much information, that it is possible for someone that does not have a lot of knowledge to find our what are the shares that are likely to be moving up and what the market trends are.
 These days there are not only the traditional stock market systems that mean that you have to work through a broker. There are also alternative trading systems that are electronically based, they can make it a lot more simple for people to do more of their own trading. An alternative trading system can actually match buyers with sellers. This means that the alternative trading system can take the place of the traditional stockbroker. There is still a need for them but the alternative trading systems are getting more and more advanced.
 The Securities and Exchange Commission have brought in rules to regulate the new alternative trading systems. These are designed to protect buyers and sellers that are using an alternative trading system to make sure that both get the best from the new systems. Using an alternative trading system can make it a lot easier to use for a lot of people and are seen by some as the best way to help people to have more control over their own trading.
