Central Limit Order Book (CLOB)

A Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) is a centralized electronic trading system that publicly lists orders to acquire or dispose of an asset, and automatically matches orders at specified prices, maintaining a live ledger of price levels and available quantity.

Example: During trading, a participant places a limit order to acquire 500 shares at a specified price; the CLOB displays the order alongside existing bids and, if a match occurs, the trade is executed against resting offers.
