New Retail Price-Improvement Routing Option
The Exchange proposes a new optional routing strategy called "Retail Price Improvement Seeking" for Type 1 Retail Orders. After checking the NYSE National book for available shares, any remaining quantity would route to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to seek additional retail price improvement; orders routed to NYSE would be converted to Limit IOC Orders and any shares still unexecuted after routing to NYSE will be cancelled. The Exchange says it will implement this change no later than the third quarter of 2025, subject to Commission approval.
