The heart of the markets is the equity exchange. With over 1,400 companies listed across two markets (The Main and the SIM) split into 17 sectors constantly open for business.

All the companies react in a unique manner to events around them and have constantly changing market cap driven not only by general market trends but also the weight of trades on them.

Their performance feeds through to a host of other vehicles actively traded within the FOXSE empire from the Traded Volatility contracts to Funds and Futures.

To prevent cornering the market, the exchange has limited holdings in a single company to £2,000,000.

It is worth remembering when holding shares that other traders can through the espionage route launch an S3 virus which will, if successful, sell off the holdings and transfer the resulting cash to the other trader's account.

Additionally if a company gets into trouble and its share price drops below 10% of its average a warning will be posted. It is possible that the company will be delisted from the exchange with the net result that a trader could lose their holding. The company will be relisted on the exchange after a period of time when it has been rescued and the exchange is satisfied.
