Order Behaviors

• Market orders are matched within GMNI if GMNI is currently the best bid/ask of the market (that is, "at the inside"). If not, the order is routed using the Intermarket Options Linkage. Any residual volume will not be routed to the next price level until all quotes at the current best bid offer are exhausted.
• Marketable limit orders are matched within GMNI if GMNI is currently the best bid/ask of the market (that is, "at the inside"). If not, the order is routed using the Intermarket Options Linkage. Non-marketable limit orders are posted to the GMNI book. The best bid and offer in the GMNI book will be displayed in the Market Depth window (under the GMNI market participant ID).
• Stop Market Orders are initially routed to our stop server until triggered. Once triggered, an order routed to GMNI will behave as a Market order.
• Stop Limit Orders are initially routed to our stop server until triggered. Once triggered, an order routed to GMNI will behave as a Limit order.
• An Immediate or Cancel (IOC) order is matched by GMNI at price at or better than the best bid/ask of the market (that is, "at the inside"). Non-marketable orders are immediately rejected, partial fills will be accepted.
• A Fill Or Kill (FOK) order is matched by GMNI at price at or better than the best bid/ask of the market (that is, "at the inside"). Non-marketable orders are immediately rejected, partial fills will not be accepted.
