Risk Warning
Taurus was a program that set out to transfer the London Stock Exchange from paper communication to an automated system.
It was started in the 1980s and at the time several systems were up and running that achieved this goal but Taurus was to be bigger and better. The problem was that they had no concise scope. It eventually cost 75 million pounds and was replaced with SEAQ. It was abandoned in March 1993.
With 17 proposed systems, the designers behind Taurus tried to merge the ideas of the people involved, creating a Frankenstein's monster that reaped damages of 500 million pounds.

Trading in these markets is generally considered to be suitable only for the more experienced investor as it carries a high degree of risk. An investor may not receive back the amount of their original investment and in certain circumstances may be liable for a sum that is greater than their original investment. If in any doubt, please seek independent financial advice.
