Alpha Exchange yesterday published proposed public interest rule amendments
intended to bring IntraSpread functionality in compliance with
UMIR dark liquidity provisions that are coming into force on
October 15, 2012. Specifically, the amendments would amend its
IntraSpread dark pool functionality to remove dark orders that
provide price improvement of 10% over the national best bid
and offer, and introduce dark orders that can trade at the
NBBO with SDL orders (orders with "fill or
kill" duration that execute actively against dark orders)
under certain circumstances.
The amendments are intended to come into effect on October 15,
2012. Comments are being accepted on the proposed amendments until
August 27.
