Published Date: 5/8/2026
Notice
Summary
The Cboe Exchange wants to add new rules for special stop-limit complex orders and create a brand-new auction type called Stop Complex Order Auctions. The SEC is taking extra time, now until June 24, 2026, to review and decide on these changes. Traders and investors using complex orders could see new ways to buy and sell, but no money changes yet—just a longer wait for the green light.
