Full Definition of Zaraba Method


A method of matching orders that involves trading securities through an auction-like process. Orders are categorised according to their price and the time they were placed. As soon as a security order is delivered, it is compared and matched against existing orders in the order book. When a bid matches the price specified in another order, both orders are executed and removed from the order book.

The zaraba method is most frequently associated with Japanese stock exchanges. During normal trading sessions, the zaraba method is typically used, whereas a different order matching method known as the itayose method is used to determine the opening and closing prices for each morning and afternoon trading session.
