Variable price

Prices quoted on an ongoing basis for actively traded stocks

A variable price is determined for shares admitted to continuous trading every time a trade is executed, i.e. when supply corresponds to demand. The determination of variable prices begins after the opening price has been quoted and ceases when the closing price is determined at the end of the trading session.
