CHICAGO, Feb 18 (Reuters) - The Philadelphia Stock Exchange (PHLX) on Thursday said its volume in Dell Computer Corp. [DELL-news] options hit a record of 212,212 contracts on Wednesday, representing a 17 percent increase over the previous volume peak set on Jan. 6.
The exchange said that year-to-date volume for Dell options remains on track to set an all-time high, with volume already exceeding 2.4 million contracts.
Dell options, which trade on the PHLX's trading floor, use technology provided by the American Stock Exchange.
Philadelphia earlier this week implemented a new trade processing technology floor-wide, called X.Station.
"With our new technology, X.Station has supported heavy trading volume and quote volume in all PHLX equity options," Jamie Farmer, vice president of marketing, said in a news release.
