agree  Carl Stoll: "Negociamos en los mercados financieros internacionales productos de materias primas" claramente escrito por 1 imbécil. ¡Qué demonios significa "productos de materias primas"? ¡Vaya disparate!

Reference: NO TIENE SIGNIFICADO

Reference information:
En inglés normal "trade exchange" no tiene NINGÚN SIGNIFICADO EN ABSOLUTO. Lo digo como economista experimentado.
Claramente se trata de una jerigonza local. Hay que determinar de qué país es el autor. Esto se puede hacer fácilmente buscando la procedencia de las siglas utilizadas. Entonces hay que averiguar el significado de "trade exchange" en ese país.

La pregunta fue "¿qué significa "trade exchange" en INGLÉS?" Para definir "trade exchange" hace falte referirse a un término, "ITEX dollars", que es algo ¡que se acaban de sacar de la manga! En mi opinión esto no reúne las condiciones para que se le pueda llamar "ïnglés". Estos son disparates inventados por algún mercachifle.

Asker: Thank you all the same for giving your opinion, though it was a bit rude to my partners, and left me a bit astonished.

disagree  Andy Watkinson: " I have more important things to do than solve other people's problems for them." Actually, helping to solve others' problems is the whole point of Kudoz. Maybe you're in the wrong place?
1 hr
  -> I have more important things to do than solve other people's problems for them. A term defined by a private company ("ITEX Corp") does not qualify as an "English" term. I POINTED OUT THE SOLUTION. IT'S UP TO THEM TO DO THE LEGWORK.
agree  José J. Martínez: Carl, como tu sabes todo sobre esto y eres un "economista experimentado", ¿porqué no ayudas en lugar de criticar?

Reference: "trade exchange" -- defined (by ITEX Corp of WA, USA)

Reference information:
A trade exchange allows you to buy and sell products & services using ITEX Dollars, instead of cash dollars!

How does that work you ask?
Most businesses who join a trade exchange have excess product or services they can sell.
For example, if you are a media company you might have Ads or air time you can sell.
Or a restaurant for example, might not be able to keep the restaurant full all the time. By joining a trade exchange you can attract 'trade member' customers to your restaurant. They in turn bring their 'cash paying' friends and business associates. A 'win - win' situation for you.

How do I spend my ITEX Dollars?
A common misconception is that you have to trade whatever you have for something in particular you want. And if the seller doesn't have exactly what you're looking for it doesn't work?

A trade exchange solves that problem!
When you sell your product or service to another trade exchange member you get 'trade dollars' in return. In our case, ITEX Dollars. These go into your trade bank account. You can then spend your ITEX Dollars on whatever you want!

neutral  Carl Stoll: Yeah, of course, ITEX dollars! How silly of me not to think of it before! SO YOU THINK THAT A COMMERCIAL GIMMICK BY A SINGLE FIRM IS A SIGNIFICANT LINGUISTIC EVENT? YOU HAVE LOST ALL SENSE OF PROPORTION.

  -> It's about "trade exchanges," Carl. It's not about ITEX dollars. >It´s all about usage, Carl. Innovative businesses create unique ways to describe their products and services. Get on board, Carl. This is the nature of language
