Upstairs Market

Categories: Trading

See: Upstairs Trade.

Anything "upstairs" means that it happened behind closed doors in the privacy of...wherever. So an upstairs market refers to a series of trades that have happened "quietly," i.e. not on a given exchange or publicly traded market. Think: white leather shoes, quiet whispers, and mayonnaise on sandwiches. Shhhhhh.
