Pending SEC approval, the NYSE will introduce - on a date to be announced - a new Closing Offset (“CO”) order that will participate in the closing trade on the opposite side of any imbalance. The introduction of the CO order is part of a comprehensive change to the Closing procedures described in the appended rule filings, which include changes to the time parameters governing submission and cancellation of MOC/LOC orders.
Member Firms are being advised in advance in order to take advantage of this new closing order type. A future notification will provide further information regarding testing opportunities and implementation dates.
