Quote from Steelhead:
Im not excited about it. but i wasnt for every other
change over the last 7 years (bullets-liq quote- pennies-etc etc) but managed to adapt.
as far as hybrid goes- my core(gs mo rai aig low) has been pretty much all electronic for a while -- im not sure how much more they will change. after hybrid comes, then it will be nms, then something else and on and on
on the other hand i remember january of 2002 when the boxes turned on in nasdaq and 1000s of traders perished or turned to nyse- i do think hydro may be right- this thing could get ugly
well see soon enough---but heck its football season!

Quote from Shreddog:
Don, I'm not thrilled about the fee either, but let's keep it in perspective vs. routing to ARCA or Nasdaq.
Taking liquidity:
ARCA: .001/share
Nasdaq: .0007/share
NYSE: .00025/share
Adding:
Arca: 0
Nasdaq: 0
NYSE: .00025/share (if I understand the fee correctly).
I don't see how this will affect my routing decisions all that much based on the above fees.
Now the decision to have large orders walk the book rather than sweep it will affect how I route. Why let orders rest at NYSE if there's no real shot at price improvement anymore.
