## Definition

The unexecuted orders on the exchange held by a floor broker (the orders for purchase or sale of futures and option contracts held by a floor broker.). - In the past, the orders were recorded on cardboard slips, which the broker carried visibly in his hand as a pack. Because the broker's business activity was inferred from the height of the stack of cards, some floor traders - according to memoir literature - padded their packs somewhat with blank cards. - See exchange members, commercials, iceberg order, backdrop, open order, speculation, day order.
