There is only one “Stock Exchange” in Turkey. It is in Istanbul. For now, it is located in building 245 on Rıhtım Caddesi in Karaköy. If Istanbul Technical University gives up its claim on the building, which it has not been able to utilize so far and has been keeping in a dilapidated state, it will soon move to a beautiful building, the historical barracks building in Maçka.

To buy Stocks on the Stock Exchange for today or to sell, there must be a transaction in this building condition.

(Stock purchases between individuals outside the stock exchange sale is possible. Standing Stock Exchange or Street Exchange There are also so-called markets. We will talk about them later).

On the stock exchange, stock prices are set in a hall. Stocks are bought and sold. This hall is called the Stock Exchange Hall.

Trading in the Stock Exchange Hall takes place between 10:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. five days a week, except Saturday and Sunday, during the hours called “Stock Exchange Session”.

Only intermediary members authorized to trade on the Exchange or their officers may enter the Exchange Hall.

Of course, officers of the Exchange are also present in the hall during the session to observe and regulate trading.

Some of the intermediary members trade both on their own behalf and on behalf of the customer.
