and 4.5 kms from the Railway Station, is a landmark in itself. With
nearly 2 lakh square feet of built up area, its trading hall alone

when it installed the Screen Based Trading System (SBT), which
is capable of handling 25,000 trades per day. The 50-strong staff

All the 136 individual members and 57 corporate members of CSX are
connected through a Local Area Network (LAN). The LAN is capable
of accommodating upto 400 members. Each member is given a cubicle
having a computer terminal and telephone connection. Communication
facilities include constantly updated economic and capital market-related
news at the Reuters and Knight Rider terminals. Margins
are monitored online on the SBT system. Facilities available at CSX
