This rule is a routine technical update with minimal impact and does not significantly affect the environment.

    The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced that Nasdaq MRX, LLC, is planning to stop offering two specific types of trading orders: Qualified Contingent Cross (QCC) with Stock Orders and Complex QCC with Stock Orders. These orders were used by members to automatically handle the stock portion of certain complex trades. However, these functionalities were never actually used, so Nasdaq MRX will remove them, allowing members to still conduct similar trades but with the responsibility of handling the stock part themselves. The change is expected to take effect by February 15, 2025, and the SEC has fast-tracked the approval process to support Nasdaq MRX's efficient operation.
