I'm pretty sure that NASDAQ has a larger trading volume than the TSX, making it "the largest stock exchange in North America to choose a floorless, electronic (or virtual trading) environment".
The NASDAQ's inception date (1971), as a digital marketm is also well before the time the TSX went digital (1997).
The NASDAQ is not a stock exchange but an OTC market place with a central quotation system. The contra party to all orders is a market maker and client orders do not get posted to the book. It is an over the counter marketplace as opposed to a stock exchange. Therefore, the TSX was the largest North American exchange to abandon the trading floor. It is true that the NASDAQ far exceeds the TSX in tading volume and market capitalization, and even NYSE in volume of shares traded.
Comparing Dow Jones Industrial Average and the TSX Composite Index
An article about the Toronto Stock Exchange is deficient if it doesn't have a single mention of the TSE. It was renamed from the TSE to the TSX only in 2001, which means that it was known as the TSE for more than 123 years. The history portion of this article should be written to acknowledge the TSE as the historical name that it was. I know nothing of stocks and markets so I won't make the changes myself, but I remember well the traditional name for this entity and emplore somebody to make the revisions.

Are there any confirmed reports on the technology used in the TSX? I heard it was a custom application running on Linux and UNIX servers. Is this true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.221.94.160 (talk) 07:45, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Why does the article specifically mention the 1999 appointment of Barbara G. Stymiest as president and CEO? They've no doubt had many others in that job, and the article doesn't mention the others. Is she the current president and CEO? Is she more notable than the others for some other reason? 184.94.124.236 (talk) 12:41, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that she is more notable because she was the first female president of any stock exchange in the world. I know that this is really late, but in case you're still on Wikipedia.... :)
