Self-Regulatory Organizations; BATS

Approval of a Proposed Rule Change
To Amend Rules 11.9, 11.12, and 11.13

regarding the current functionality of
the Exchange’s System,5 including the
operation of its order types and order
instructions. The Exchange proposes no
substantive modifications to the System.
The changes include: (i) Making clear
that orders with a Time-in-Force (‘‘TIF’’)
of Immediate-or-Cancel (‘‘IOC’’) can be
routed away from the Exchange; (ii)
specifying the methodology used by the
Exchange to determine whether BATS
Post Only Orders 6 will remove liquidity
from the BATS Book; 7 (iii) adding
additional detail to and re-structuring
the description of Pegged Orders; (iv)
adding additional detail to the
description of Mid-Point Peg Orders; (v)
adding additional detail to the
description of Discretionary Orders; (vi)
amending Rule 11.12, Priority of Orders,
and Rule 11.13, Order Execution, to
provide additional specificity and
enhance the structure of Exchange rules
describing the process for ranking,
executing and routing orders; (vii)
adding additional detail to the
description of orders subject to Re-Route
functionality; and (viii) making a series
of conforming changes to Rules 11.9,
11.12 and 11.13 to update crossreferences.
Rule 11.9. The Exchange proposes
revisions to Rule 11.9 to provide greater
detail as to the existing functionality of
certain order types and modifiers.8
Among other things, the Exchange
proposes to make clear that orders with
an IOC TIF are routable but do not post
to the Exchange’s book,9 whereas orders
with a Fill-or-Kill (‘‘FOK’’) TIF are not
routable.10 The Exchange also proposes
to clarify the Exchange’s methodology
for determining whether BATS Post
Only orders will remove liquidity from
the Exchange’s order book upon entry.11
5 Exchange Rule 1.5(aa) defines ‘‘System’’ as ‘‘the
electronic communications and trading facility
designated by the Board through which securities
orders of Users are consolidated for ranking,
execution and, when applicable, routing away.’’
6 See Rule 11.9(c)(6).
7 As defined in Rule 1.5(e).
8 For additional detail regarding the specific
proposed revisions for each order type and
modifier, see Notice, supra note 3 at 8734–36, and
proposed Rule 11.9.
9 See proposed Rule 11.9(b)(1). In connection
with this proposed change the Exchange also
proposes to specify that the cancellation of an
unfilled balance of an order is one possible outcome
after an order has been routed away. See proposed
Rule 11.13(b)(2). This is what would occur with the
unfilled balance of a routed IOC order. See Notice,
supra note 3 at 8734.
10 See proposed Rule 11.9(b)(6).
11 See proposed Rule 11.9(c)(6). Due to the
Exchange’s inverted fee structure, incoming BATS
Post Only Orders always execute upon entry (and
hence remove liquidity) when marketable against
resting contra-side liquidity because it is always
economically advantageous for them to do so. The
Exchange nevertheless maintains this order type so

In addition, the Exchange proposes to
reformat the rule describing the Primary
Pegged and Market Pegged orders,12 and
to make clear that Mid-Point Peg Orders
are not eligible to execute when the
NBBO is crossed but Users may elect
whether such orders will be eligible to
execute when the NBBO is locked.13
Further, the Exchange proposes to add
additional detail to the rule describing
Discretionary Orders so that it specifies:
(i) That Discretionary Orders may be
fully non-displayed, with a nondisplayed ranked price (and
discretionary price); (ii) how resting
Discretionary Orders interact with
incoming contra-side orders, including
how the order type, TIF and price of the
incoming order affects whether the
resting Discretionary Order removes
liquidity against the incoming order or
the incoming order removes liquidity
against the resting Discretionary Order;
and (iii) that Discretionary Orders are
routed away from the Exchange at their
full discretionary price.14
Rule 11.12. The Exchange proposes
several modifications to Rule 11.12 that
are intended to clarify existing
functionality relating to order priority.
Some of these modifications would
revise the structure of Rule 11.12 or add
cross references to other rules.15 In
addition, the Exchange proposes to
revise Rule 11.12(a)(2) to refer to
ranking, rather than executing, equallypriced trading interest because,
according to the Exchange, the rule is
intended to describe the manner in
which resting orders are ranked and
maintained.16 The Exchange also
proposes to revise the reference to
Pegged Orders in the priority hierarchy
set forth in Rule 11.12(a)(2) to make
clear that the reference is specifically to
non-displayed Pegged Orders.17 The
Exchange notes that the purpose of this
revision is to distinguish non-displayed
Pegged Orders from Primary Pegged
that the post-only functionality remains available in
the event the Exchange’s fee structure changes, and
proposes the clarifying changes reflected in
proposed Rule 11.9(c)(6) so as to reflect the actual
functionality of the System, which still performs
the economic best interest specified in the rule
despite the outcome being pre-determined by the
Exchange’s fee structure. See Notice, supra note 3
at 8735.
12 See proposed Rule 11.9(c)(8).
13 See proposed Rule 11.9(c)(9).
14 See proposed Rule 11.9(c)(10). In addition, the
Exchange proposes to update cross references to
rules that would be re-numbered as a result of the
proposal. See proposed Rules 11.9(c), 11.9(d) and
11.9(g).
15 See Notice, supra note 3 at 8736–37. See also
proposed Rule 11.12(a).
16 See Notice, supra note 3 at 8737. See also
proposed Rule 11.12(a)(2).
17 See Notice, supra note 3 at 8737. See also
proposed Rule 11.12(a)(2)(C).
