Technical Changes in Support of Sell Short Exempt Orders Types

03 Aug 2010

In support of the SEC amendments to Rules 200(g) and 201 of Regulation SHO, otherwise known as the SEC Alternative Uptick Rule, the NYSE and NYSE Amex will re-introduce Sell Short Exempt as a valid order type. The NYSE and NYSE Amex will begin accepting Sell Short Exempt orders on the effective date of the Rules, currently set for November 10, 2010. Sell Short Exempt orders sent prior to this date will be rejected, as they are today.


Customers wishing to route an order (FIX message type "D") or cancel/replace (FIX message type "G") as Sell Short Exempt must populate FIX Tag 54 with the value of "6". Orders may be submitted as either Market orders (FIX Tag 40 = "1") or Limit orders (FIX Tag 40 = "2"). For more detailed information, please refer to section 7.1 or 7.4 in the NYSE CCG FIX Specification attached below.

Future notifications will be provided to outline the NYSE's tick test processing changes and provide further information regarding testing opportunities and exact implementation dates. Please contact your Relationship Manager or Robert Airo should you have any business questions or comments:
