Before you can start listing any securities on Nasdaq, your company must be approved and authorized as a Nasdaq market operator. ET, the Market Participant must immediately submit a SelectNet order to the market makers or ECNs that are locked/crossed with a "Trade-or-Move" message appended to the order.
This means that if you lock/cross a single Market Maker or a single ECN, you must send a Trade-or-Move message for 5,000 shares. Additionally, if you execute the full size of the Trade-or-Move order, you can maintain your bid at the lock/cross price.

A preferred order will be executed against the Market Maker to which the order is directed, at the inside market price, and unwanted orders will be executed against Market Makers in rotation, at the inside quote. Orders are executed automatically within SOES and the report of execution is sent to the Market Maker and to the order entry firm. Preferred SOES orders are executed by a specified Market Maker up to the maximum order size - regardless of their displayed quote size - at the inside quote price.
The execution of preferred SOES orders does not reduce (or reduce) a market maker's displayed size or ancillary exposure. A market maker's minimum quote size obligation will not be less than 100 shares (or one normal trading unit), regardless of whether the firm is a. When a Market Maker's quote is executed in SOES, the system lowers (reduces) the quote by the size of the order.
Your displayed quote size will be reset to the SOES level size or the size selected by the Market Maker when specified. This "hold time" will: (1) allow the ECN/ATS to move away, creating a new inside; (2) give the market makers time to adjust their quotes to create a new inside; or (3) allow the market maker to join the ECN/ATS at its price. However, in SmallCap the SOES system will continue to execute against the next available SOES market maker at the ECN/ATS or UTP price.
Any SOES Market Maker executing an order or part of an order will be charged $0.50 per transaction. However, you are not required to change your quote if the order is preferred for a single market maker or an eligible ECN/ATS. You can respond to the orders by clicking buttons at the bottom of the pop-up window.
As stated in the SEC's 21(a) report, "the fixed quote rule is triggered when an order is 'tendered' to the market maker. If you do not contact Market Regulation within five minutes, it will be difficult to obtain simultaneous trade execution from the Market Maker Failure on the part of the complaining firm to contact the other market maker or market regulation within five minutes of the alleged retraction is not a defense to the potential infringer against the retraction violation.

StockWatch updates the status of the trading halt in the Nasdaq News framework, located under. A Market Maker is obligated to hedge a limit order up to the size he trades before the order. Keep in mind, executing a limit order in accordance with the interpretation does not trigger an obligation to execute another limit order on the opposite side of the market.
All client limit orders received by your firm—whether from your clients or from other brokers/dealers (so-called "member-to-member orders" .)—are subject to limit order interpretation. IM-2110-2 does not apply to a client limit order if the limit order is tradable at the time it is received by a Market Maker. If a client limit order is not tradable when received by a market maker, the limit order must be assigned the full protections of IM-2110-2.
The Commission (SEC) emphasizes that “the price at which the limit order is to be protected must be clearly explained to the client.”. Limit order protection obligations apply to all customer limit orders submitted to an ECN/ATS, unlisted trading privilege (UTP) participant or market maker, and the member sending or receiving the order cannot act that order. Therefore, your obligation to protect a client limit order does not end when you submit the order to one of these execution venues.
You should monitor the status of the limit order and not trade before it until the order is completed. For example, if you receive a client's limit order and send it to an ECN/ATS for execution, and then receive a market order, the SEC has stated that the market order must receive an enhanced limit order price. The officer has three options: (1) the officer may declare the transaction "null and void"; (2) the officer may change one or more terms of the transaction; or (3) the official may decline to act on the request.
Nasdaq Market Operations staff will call both parties to the transaction and advise them of the decision. The rule incorporates the exceptions contained in SEC Rule 10a-1—the SEC's Short Sale Rule applicable to publicly traded securities. Collectively, these rules are called the "Order Handling Rules" because they dictate how Market Makers must display their quotes and handle customer limit orders.
The SEC's limit order display rule requires market makers that accept customer limit orders to display those limit orders in their Nasdaq quotes if one or more of the limit orders would improve the Market Maker's quote. Affiliated ECNs currently include Archipelago (ARCA), ATTAIN (ATTN), Brass Utility L.L.C., (BRUT), B-Trade Services (BTRD), Instinet (INCA), The Island ECN, Inc. ISLD), MarketXT (MKXT), Spear Leeds and Kellogg (REDI) and NexTrade (NTRD).
CAES
The market maker must pass the limit order price improvement to the market order. The remaining 500 shares of the limit order will continue to remain unlisted on the MMA ledger. Therefore, MMA must match (as a principal or as an agent, as explained in the answer above) the customer's market order of 1000 shares against 1000 shares of.
Thus, according to the Manning Rule, MMA must execute 1,000 shares of the limit order it owns. MMA changes its bid to 20 1/8 for 2,000 shares to reflect the rounded price of the client limit order. MMA must execute the client limit order and 2,000 shares of the market order at 20 5/32, even though the displayed quote is rounded to 20 1/8.
MMA changes its offer to 20 1/16 for 2,000 shares to reflect the price of the client's limit order. MMA receives a discretionary ("working") order for 100,000 shares, where the institutional customer and the Market Maker agree on the terms of the order and the compensation that MMA is to receive. MMA must execute the net sell order at 20 by first matching (as principal or as agent) the limit order to buy at 20 against the net sell order, and then execute the rest of the net order against its holdings.
Assuming the same facts as above, change the answer if Market Maker A (MMA) discloses to the institutional client with the sell limit order that the sales representative must obtain a 1/8 sell credit and therefore MMA will hold the limit order at a price exclusive of the sales credit. Rather, you only need to record on the order ticket the identity of the broker/dealers and the fixed quotes obtained from the OTCBB. You can also print a copy of the screen and attach the copy to the order ticket.
The participant must reverse side of the trade when filing an As-Of Trade Reversal in ACT. An exit allows broker A (executing broker) to “exit” or allocate all or part of the trade(s) to another broker/dealer(s) (broker B). A Qualified Special Representative (QSR) agreement allows a Special Representative to submit data on behalf of the participating broker/dealer.
