Some updated DOT routes coming through the pipe...very interesting....
* Effective October 1, 2006, NYSE-listed securities routed to Arca will be charged $0.0028 per share, pending approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
* Beginning on September 18, 2006, NASDAQ will introduce two new INET routing strategies:
o DOTO routes On-Open Orders to the NYSE or Amex and posts unexecuted shares on the INET book.
o DOTD routes directly to the NYSE or Amex without interacting with the INET book.
* DOTO â routes On-Open Orders to the NYSE or Amex and posts unexecuted shares on the INET book. If these unexecuted shares become executable on another market center while on the INET book, the order will route to the other market center. If the order routes to the NYSE or Amex after being on the INET book, it will remain on the NYSE or Amex until being executed or canceled.
* DOTD â routes directly to the NYSE or Amex without interacting with the INET book. The order will remain on the destination market until being executed or canceled.
he pricing schedule for DOTD orders will be:
* $0.004/share that execute on the Amex for ETFs (no monthly cap)
* $0.003/share that execute on the Amex for non-ETFs (no monthly cap)
* $0.0003/share that execute on the NYSE (no monthly cap)
When will the new routing strategies be available?
On Monday, September 18, 2006, NASDAQ will begin beta testing of DOTO. It will be available to all market participants on Monday, September 25th.
DOTD will be effective Monday, September 18, 2006.
