Pattern Day Trading Rule is officially toast.
@SECGov approved elimination of the PDT rule proposed by @FINRA Once it hits federal register this should become law & allow folks with <$25k to trade more than 4x in 5 days. Moving towards better margining.

Reg NMS Rule 611 has some serious flaws but removing it will not increase investor confidence and it will not fix the major structural issues that exist today in the US equity market. Read our SEC comment letter here:

This @Nasdaq pricing announcement is literally retroactive. If exchanges want tiers/rebates to incentivize behavior, they would announce them in time for participants to prepare. So what's this for?
@ltabb Instead of 23x5, we should have four-4 hour sessions with 2-hour breaks between. Still accommodates international, allows for more auctions, fewer logistical headaches... who says no?
@JoeSaluzzi A few others ideas:
- Improve LULDs (2x the bands each halt, 3 halts max per day)
- Strengthen listing requirements (& require min public float for trading... halt when under)
- Include essential data in the SIP feeds (adj. closing price, imbal info, float/outstanding)
