Congratulations PD. I have always liked your comm structure, but i thought you guys were weak on software. Can I route orders anywhere I want easily? I will have to give you a hard look again. nitro
Thanks for the question nitro. Yes you can! Either thru NYSE Direct or ECN's. Also, you can use our smart order routing system D.O.R.S (direct order routing system). Its an unbiased order routing system designed to find the best possible price, no matter who has it, as quickly as possible.
PD, Thanks for the response. I should be more specific. Can I route to the NX (NYSE's limit book ECN) ? nitro
Quote from PDSupport: You can route to NYSE Direct (NX) , SDOT, ARCA, ISLAND , and BRUT. But not INCA (as shown on your web site)? Also, the SEC fee is currently $46.80 per million. Or are you guys absorbing the increase for your clients? Do you have an API and/or FIX capability for integrating with my proprietary trading platform? Is there a minimum charge per order (i.e. what do I get charged for getting my 1000-share order hit for 5 shares on Island)?
We should have INCA in the very near future. You are correct. Effective April 1, 2003, The SEC fee is currently $46.80 per million. The SEC fee is directly debited by the clearing firm (CCS) and is done accurately ($46.80 per million). http://www.sec.gov/answers/sec31.htm Yes, We have an FIX API available. There is no minimum charge per order. All fees are prorated for ET Traders.
