Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Market Orders More Likely To Execute
The Exchange deleted a validation in Rule 900.3NYP that would reject or cancel a Market Order when there were no contra-side Market Maker quotes on the Exchange or no contra-side ABBO (Away Best Bid or Offer). This means Market Orders arriving during continuous trading may now execute against resting orders on the Consolidated Book, increasing execution opportunities for inbound Market Orders and resting Customer interest.
Rule Took Effect Immediately; Short Review Window
The proposed change was filed on August 25, 2025 and became effective upon filing; it is operative for 30 days from filing (until September 24, 2025). The Commission may temporarily suspend the change at any time within 60 days of filing and may institute proceedings to determine approval or disapproval.
