"In difficult trading conditions, market participants must have confidence that if they seek to buy or sell an instrument, the trade will be efficiently executed, cleared, and settled — both when they initially establish a position and when they want to liquidate that position in the future.”

Elizabeth K. King, Associate Director, Division of Trading & Markets, SEC

 

FAQs: Routing

  1. Does OES route orders directly to market centers?

    Yes. All DMA orders are routed directly to the market center in order to eliminate any possible latency.

  2. What happens to orders when Self-Help is enacted against a market center?

    OES does not independently enact Self-Help. However, in the event that a client has enacted Self-Help against a specific market center, the effect of that decision is to remove that destination from its order routing.

  3. How do OES' DMA services handle client give-ups?

    DMA orders where the customer’s mnemonic is given-up are routed and executed like any other order, except that there is no “flip” in the clearing process. This saves the client money.
