Quote from MasterRaistlin:
Which NMS rule are you referring to Don and how do you feel it will affect day trading?
Thanks
The "National Market System" rule will (should) make is so that the ECN's or exchanges cannot trade at "worse" prices than posted by others. Basically a No trade through rule. Still a lot of debate on the "how" of all this.
The extended compliance dates for Rule 610 and Rule 611 are as follows.
Oct. 16, 2006 (Specifications Date): Final date for publication of final technical specifications for the Regulation NMS-compliant trading systems of all automated trading centers that intend to qualify their quotations for trade-through protection under Rule 611 during the Pilot Stocks Phase and All Stock Phase (as defined below).
Feb. 5, 2007 (Trading Phase Date): Final date for full operation of Regulation NMS-compliant trading systems of all automated trading centers intending to qualify their quotations for trade-through protection under Rule 611 during the Pilot Stocks Phase and All Stocks Phase. The period from Feb. 5, 2007, to May 21, 2007, is the âTrading Phase.â
May 21, 2007 (Pilot Stocks Phase Date): Start of full industry compliance with Rule 610 and Rule 611 for 250 NMS stocks (100 NYSE stocks, 100 Nasdaq stocks, and 50 Amex stocks). The period from May 21, 2007 to July 9, 2007 is the âPilot Stocks Phase.â
July 9, 2007 (All Stocks Phase Date): Start of full industry compliance with Rule 610 and Rule 611 for all remaining NMS stocks. The period from July 9, 2007, to Oct. 8, 2007, is the âAll Stocks Phase.â
