The NYSE Chicago is proposing changes to its Fee Schedule involving fees and credits for single-sided orders. Previously, there was a $0.0010 fee per share for both removing and providing liquidity. The new plan proposes changing the fee for removing liquidity to $0.0030 per share, while offering credits of $0.0029 and $0.0014 per share for orders that add displayed and non-displayed liquidity, respectively. These changes aim to encourage more participants to contribute liquidity, enhancing trading activities and benefiting all market participants. The Securities and Exchange Commission is accepting comments on this proposed rule change.
Simple Explanation
NYSE Chicago wants to change how much people pay or get paid when they buy or sell stocks. If someone takes a stock away, they'll pay a bit more, but if they bring a stock to the table, they can get a tiny reward like a little thank you note for helping out.
