Ticker Tape

Tax Glossary Definition

Ticker Tape

Ticker tape refers to the narrow strip of paper produced by early stock-quotation machines. These machines printed brief codes showing the most recent trades—such as price changes and volumes—and provided a continuous stream of market information long before digital displays existed.

Example: Imagine a broker in the early 20th century standing beside a clattering ticker machine as it printed “TATA 250 ↑” on the paper strip. Each new line showed the latest trades, and brokers used this steady feed of updates to react quickly to market movements.
