Conflict Methodology Note: Quality delta (¢/100 sh) is estimated as Δ_bps × ref_price. A positive PFOF beside a negative delta indicates the firm received payment while the venue delivered less price improvement than competing market centers on identical symbols and size tiers.

Standing Review Limitations:

  • A venue's Rule 605 statistics describe all flow it handled, not this firm's orders.
  • 606 route shares are per order, not per share, and list only the top 10 venues plus any venue with at least 5% of non-directed orders.
  • FINRA Rule 5310.09 also requires the firm's own order-level review of its executions.
  • This report is not legal or compliance advice.
  • Net price improvement is in basis points of executed notional (quote midpoint × shares). The PFOF comparison converts the difference to ¢/100 sh at the venue's average executed price; it is an estimate.
