Effective March 1, pending a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock Exchange will incorporate a rebate of $0.0010 per share for adding liquidity in displayed and nondisplayed orders, with a transaction fee of $0.0018 per share for removing liquidity. The electronic NYSE Arca platform, meanwhile, will raise its preexisting rebate and transaction fee rates to $0.0029 and $0.0020 per-share, respectively, for securities listed on NYSE and Nasdaq OMX (NDAQ).
If you do volume it adds up. My commish/fees, for better or for worse,would seem a pretty substantial income to 99.x % of Americans. Manage it like you would a cost of doing business.
So the NYSE take fee more than doubled... That stinks - I guess thats why the added the new rebate to try and offset the huge spike in take fee? -Guru
I add liquidity in over 95% of my transactions so for me its a good thing or at least it appears that way.
