Digital buying and selling large Citadel Securities on Friday sued the Securities and Change Fee over the company’s determination to approve a brand new mechanism for buying and selling shares at upstart change operator IEX Group Inc. The go well with marks an escalation by Citadel Securities in an arcane dispute over IEX’s “D-Restrict” order sort, which is designed to offer merchants a manner to purchase or promote shares on the change whereas defending them in opposition to unfavorable value strikes. Citadel Securities had earlier urged the SEC to reject IEX’s proposal, arguing that the D-Restrict would hurt the integrity of the U.S. inventory market and unfairly discriminate in opposition to some buyers. However the SEC sided with IEX in August and allowed the plan to go ahead. “The SEC didn’t correctly think about the prices and burdens imposed by this proposal that may undermine the reliability of our markets and hurt tens of hundreds of thousands of retail buyers,” a spokeswoman for Citadel Securities stated in an announcement.

Citadel Securities and different opponents stated the D-Restrict would unfairly discriminate in opposition to companies that may attempt to purchase and promote shares from merchants utilizing the brand new order sort. In addition they stated D-Restrict orders might doubtlessly elevate doubts as as to if the quotes posted on IEX had been real or illusory.

Does this ruling chip into Citadel profits ??? Otherwise why would they sue??? is here anyone in the know who can explain?
IEX is againts HFT, they care for mom and pop investors who are ripped off by HFT and Citadel is the biggest HFT. So Citadel must “hate” IEX very much.
Citadel clearly stated that "burdens imposed by this proposal may undermine the reliability of our markets and hurt tens of hundreds of thousands of retail buyers". So obviously they're doing this to protect us all, small and large investors. It's like having free pro-bono lawyers that defend us from all the bad stuff that may happen to us. Now pardon me, but I need to go and wire some money to a Nigerian prince that is the only true heir to the Nigerian throne.
