New $0.12 Surcharge on Manual Complex Orders
Starting March 10, 2026, the Exchange will apply a $0.12 per-contract surcharge to any Non-Customer Manual order that is not a Simple Order when it executes against a Customer Manual non-Simple order. The surcharge is reduced to $0.10 per contract for Electronic executions for ATP Holders that achieve at least 0.20% of TCADV of Electronic Non-Customer Complex Orders in a month; the discounted rate applies only to electronic executions. The surcharge does not apply to executions in CUBE Auctions, and for Manual executions interest from the Trading Crowd is treated as “Non-Customer.”
Floor Broker $0.20 Per-Contract Rebate
Starting March 10, 2026, the Exchange will pay a $0.20 per-contract rebate to Floor Broker orders that trade with Floor Market Maker orders on the Trading Floor. For Floor Brokers participating in the FB Prepay Program, this $0.20 rebate will apply instead of any rebates they would otherwise earn under the Manual Billable Rebate Program in Section III.E. of the Fee Schedule.
