Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. has introduced a new rule to implement fees for new types of logical ports on its equity options platform. This change is part of a new connectivity offering called "Unitized Logical Ports," which is meant to improve consistency and efficiency in trading by reducing the natural variance in processing messages. Alongside, Cboe BZX is also proposing Average Daily Order (ADO) and Average Daily Quote (ADQ) fees to regulate extensive use of the system's resources. These changes are optional for members, aimed at encouraging efficient use and ensuring that resources are not overused, impacting system performance.
Simple Explanation
Cboe BZX Exchange is adding new fees for special computer connections that help with trading, and these fees might be confusing or expensive for some smaller traders. They say the goal is to make trading more efficient and fair, but some people are worried it could make trading harder or costlier for those who donβt trade as much.
