Quotron

[2] Quotron's first major competitor was Telerate, which was founded by Neil Hirsch in 1969 and later bought by Dow Jones in 1990.

The Quotron was the screen used by Charlie Sheen's Bud Fox and Michael Douglas's Gordon Gekko characters in the 1987 movie Wall Street.

By 1994 Quotron had only 35,000 terminals compared with 80,000 for Automatic Data Processing and 25,000 for ILX, according to Waters Information Services.

Thomson Reuters and Bloomberg lead the trading floor terminal space today with 70% of the market.

[1]In early 2023, Quotron has been revitalized by a group of tech entrepreneurs that have started developing modern stock tickers for individuals traders.
