Resources:

Pending SEC approval, effective May 11, 2020, Nasdaq will reduce the holding period for Midpoint Extended Life Orders (M-ELO) and M-ELO + Continuous Book orders to 10 milliseconds. Currently, M-ELOs must wait 500 milliseconds before becoming eligible to execute. By reducing the holding period, M-ELO will remain a purpose-built solution with one of the longest delay mechanisms in the industry, and enable clients to incorporate the order type across a broader set of opportunities.

Testing Opportunities

Testing is currently available in the Nasdaq Testing Facility (NTF). Production testing will be available during the May 2 User Acceptance Test (UAT).
