Order Behaviors

• NYSE American imposes a delay of 350 microseconds to all incoming and outbound orders.

• Market orders are matched within NYSE American if it’s currently the best bid/ask of the market (that is, "at the inside"). If not, the order is routed out. 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 NYSE American if it’s currently the best bid/ask of the market (that is, "at the inside"). If not, the order is routed out. Any residual volume will not be routed to the next price level until all quotes at the current best bid offer are exhausted. Once all attainable liquidity within that capped limit price is exhausted, the order will be rejected back to the user.

• Non-marketable limit orders are posted to the NYSE American book. The best bid and offer in the NYSE American book will be displayed in the Market Depth window.

• Stop Market Orders are initially routed to our stop server until triggered. Once triggered, an order routed to NYSE American will behave as a Market order.

• Stop Limit Orders are initially routed to our stop server until triggered. Once triggered, an order routed to NYSE American will behave as a Limit order.

• An Immediate or Cancel (IOC) order is matched within the NYSE American book only if it’s at the inside. Non-marketable orders are immediately rejected, partial fills will be accepted.
