Rule 11890 Fees

Complaints

BX will charge fees for members who file more than two unsuccessful clearly erroneous complaints during a calendar month.

  • Each security listed in a filing is treated as a separate complaint for purposes of this fee.
  • An unsuccessful complaint is one in which BX does not break any of the trades included in that complaint.

Following the second unsuccessful complaint, the member shall be assessed a fee of $250 for each additional unsuccessful complaint.

Appeals

There is a $500 fee for unsuccessful appeals of Clearly Erroneous Rule 11890 adjudications. The party initiating the appeal shall be assessed the $500 fee if the Market Operations Review Committee (MORC) upholds the decision of the Nadsaq official who made the initial determination. The fee will be reflected in the monthly invoice.

Sales Fees to Fund Section 31 Obligations

In order to fund Section 31 exchange obligations, we assess a Sales Fee to Clearing Firms relative to the covered sale activity of their executing brokers on BX.

The Sales Fee will be assessed no later than the 10th calendar day of the following month and facilitated through a direct debit against the Clearing Firm’s settlement account at the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC).

NASDAQ and BX sales fee invoicing is performed separately. There are discreet invoices and support files available. The BX direct debit appears on the Settlement Account line #45 of firm's DTCC settlement invoice. NASDAQ direct debit appears on the Settlement Account line #43.
