Everyone wants to be privy to the inner workings of a trading floor. We were fortunate enough to be invited (ok, we did some begging) to Stamford, Conn to take photos of UBS's floor, the largest trading floor in the world. We're featuring these photos in Anatomy of a Trading Floor, one of Advanced Trading's newest features. Our photographer took phenomenal shots that show the grand scale of the 1,400 seat floor and offer close ups of various trader's desks, now accompanied by detailed captions describing the technology being used.

It was both exciting and overwhelming to be on the floor. I really hadn't anticipated that when we were making our appointments. I mean this floor is BIG. And the level of chatter and even heat it gave off was amazing. With other floors we've featured, I've outlined which groups sit where by highlighting various seats in photos to show our audience, but it was just impossible to get that granular with a floor this big. However, we did break it up into four components.

If you want to sneak a peek at UBS's floor, be our guest at www.advancedtrading.com/photos/trading-floors/ubs. You can also compare the UBS floor to some of the other floors we've shot in the past.

A tremendous thank you to UBS for allowing us to feature its floor.
