Explanation:
In order-driven markets, there are two main pricing rules:
Discriminatory Pricing Rule (also called continuous pricing rule):
Uniform Pricing Rule (also called call market pricing rule):
Given that the question states "the trade price is determined by the limit price of an order," this describes the discriminatory pricing rule where each trade price is determined by the specific limit order that initiated the transaction.
Derivative pricing rule is not a standard term in market microstructure for describing order-driven market pricing rules.
Key Takeaway: When trade prices vary based on individual limit orders, it's discriminatory pricing; when all trades occur at a single clearing price, it's uniform pricing.
