Direct+ Rule Change The SEC approved an NYSE request to allow multiple traders in the same firm to enter Direct+ (NX) orders within 30 seconds of each other. The previous interpretation of the rule restricted trading firms--as a whole--from entering multiple Direct+ orders within a 30-second period, even if the trades were based on the independent decisions of individual traders. The revised rule requires that orders be entered from different terminals and that a supervisor periodically monitor such orders to ensure compliance with the 30-second requirement. I guess that complaint about NX at firms like Worldco won't be an issue anymore. http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/14mar20010800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2002/02-31162.htm
