Published Date: 3/31/2026
Notice
Summary
NYSE Arca is changing its options fees starting March 10, 2026. Non-Customers will see a surcharge on manual complex orders, and Floor Brokers will get a new rebate when their orders trade with Market Makers on the floor. These tweaks aim to balance costs and rewards for traders using the exchange’s options market.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Non-Customer Manual Complex Surcharge
If you are a Non-Customer (firms, broker-dealers, or Market Makers), a $0.12 per contract surcharge that applied to electronic complex orders will also apply to any Non-Customer Manual complex order that executes against a Customer Manual complex order starting March 10, 2026. For Manual executions, interest from the Trading Crowd is treated as a "Non-Customer," and manual transactions in MXEA and MXEF are not subject to this surcharge.
Floor Broker $0.20 Per-Contract Rebate
If you are a Floor Broker, the Exchange will pay a rebate of $0.20 per contract for Floor Broker orders that trade with Market Maker orders on the Trading Floor, effective March 10, 2026. Floor Brokers participating in the FB Prepay Program would receive this $0.20 rebate instead of rebates under the Manual Billable Rebate Program.
