Subject to SEC filing requirements, effective April 8, 2019, The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) will introduce a new “Midpoint Trade Now” option as previously announced in Equity Trader Alert #2018 – 101. The Midpoint Trade Now option will provide participants the ability to specify on the original order that once posted on the Nasdaq book, if the order is locked by a Midpoint Peg Post-Only (“MPPO”) contra-side order, the resting order will attempt to remove liquidity against locking and/or crossing contra-side orders up to its available size; any unexecuted portion of the resting order will remain posted at its price, with no change in order priority.

The Midpoint Trade Now option will be available as a port setting for all order types that support this functionality, and will be available on an order-by-order basis for Non-Displayed and Midpoint Peg orders only. Nasdaq has added two new Display instructions, “n” and “m”, for Non-Displayed and Midpoint Peg orders, respectively, with Midpoint Trade Now.
