concerning the purpose of and basis for
the proposed rule change and discussed
any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of these
statements may be examined at the
places specified in Item IV below. The
Exchange has prepared summaries, set
forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of
the most significant parts of such
statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to remove
language allowing a change to the
minimum quantity of an order with a
Minimum Execution Quantity
instruction to be included in a Replace
message. The proposed amendments
would harmonize the rule with the rules
of its affiliate exchanges, BYX, BZX, and
EDGA.7
A Minimum Execution Quantity
enables a User 8 to specify a minimum
share amount at which the order will
execute. An order with a Minimum
Execution Quantity will not execute
unless the volume of contra-side
liquidity available to execute against the
order meets or exceeds the designated
minimum. Specifically, Minimum
Execution Quantity is an instruction a
User may attach to an order with a NonDisplayed 9 instruction or a TIF of IOC
requiring the System 10 to execute the
order only to the extent that a minimum
quantity can be satisfied by execution
against a single order or multiple
aggregated orders simultaneously. An
order with a Minimum Execution
Quantity will execute upon entry
against a single order or multiple orders
if the sum of those orders is equal to or
greater than its minimum quantity.
Alternatively, a User may elect that an
incoming order with a Minimum
Execution Quantity to forego executions
where multiple resting orders could
otherwise be aggregated to satisfy the
order’s minimum quantity but do not

supra note 6.
term ‘‘User’’ is defined as ‘‘any Member or
Sponsored Participant who is authorized to obtain
access to the System pursuant to Rule 11.3.’’ See
Exchange Rule 1.5(ee).
9 The term ‘‘Non-Displayed’’ is defined as ‘‘[a]n
instruction the User may attach to an order stating
that the order is not to be displayed by the System
on the EDGX Book.’’ See Exchange Rule 11.6(e)(2).
10 The term ‘‘System’’ is defined 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.’’ See
Exchange Rule 1.5(cc).

individually satisfy the order’s
minimum quantity instruction.
Paragraph (e)(3) of Rule 11.10 states
that other than changing a Limit Order
to a Market Order, only the price, Stop
Price,11 the sell long indicator, Short
Sale instruction,12 Max Floor 13 of an
order with a Reserve Quantity, size of
the order, and the minimum quantity of
a Minimum Execution Quantity
instruction may be changed with a
Replace message. The Exchange recently
proposed to amend paragraph (e)(3) of
Rule 11.10, Order Execution, to allow a
change to the minimum quantity of an
order with a Minimum Execution
Quantity instruction to be included in a
Replace message.14 However, this
functionality was never implemented
and the Exchange now proposes to
remove this language from its rule.15
Removal of this language would,
therefore, not result in a change in
functionality. The proposal would also
harmonize the rule with the rules of its
affiliate exchanges, BYX, BZX, and
EDGA.16
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)
of the Act 17 in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act 18
in particular, in that it is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in
facilitating transactions in securities, to
remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market
and a national market system and, in
general, to protect investors and the
public interest. The Exchange believes
the proposed amendment to paragraph
(e)(3) of Rule 11.10 is consistent with
the Act in that it will clarify the rule by
removing language that reflects
functionality not offered by the
Exchange, thereby avoiding any
potential investor confusion. The
proposed amendments would also
harmonize the rule with the rules of its
affiliate exchanges, BYX, BZX, and
EDGA,19 thereby ensuring consistent

15 While the rule change became operative on
September 11, 2017 and the Exchange’s rules were
then updated to reflect the change, no Member has
attempted to change an order’s Minimum Execution
Quantity via a Replace message.

rules amongst the Exchange and its
affiliates.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act, as amended.
The proposed amendment to paragraph
(e)(3) of Rule 11.10 would not have any
impact on competition as it simply
clarifies the rule by removing language
that reflects functionality not offered by
the Exchange.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
No comments were solicited or
received on the proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule
change does not (i) significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant
burden on competition; and (iii) become
operative for 30 days from the date on
which it was filed, or such shorter time
as the Commission may designate, it has
become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 20 and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b–4
thereunder.21
A proposed rule change filed under
Rule 19b–4(f)(6) normally does not
become operative for 30 days after the
date of its filing. However, Rule 19b–
4(f)(6)(iii) 22 permits the Commission to
designate a shorter time if such action
is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. The
Exchange has requested that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative
delay so that the proposed rule change
will become operative upon filing. The
Exchange stated that such waiver would
enable the Exchange to immediately
clarify its rule by removing language
that reflects functionality not offered by
the Exchange, and thereby avoid any
potential investor confusion. The
Commission believes that waiver of the
30-day operative delay is consistent
with the protection of investors and the
20 15
U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). As required under Rule
19b–4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the
Commission with written notice of its intent to file
the proposed rule change, along with a brief
description and the text of the proposed rule
change, at least five business days prior to the date
of filing of the proposed rule change, or such
shorter time as designated by the Commission.

public interest because it would enable
the Exchange to update its rule without
delay. Therefore, the Commission
hereby waives the operative delay and
designates the proposed rule change
operative upon filing.23
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of such proposed rule change, the
Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if
it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act. If the
Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings
to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be approved or
disapproved.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such
statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to remove language allowing a change to the
minimum quantity of an order with a Minimum Execution Quantity
instruction to be included in a Replace message. The proposed
amendments would harmonize the rule with the rules of its affiliate
exchanges, BYX, BZX, and EDGA.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See supra note 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Minimum Execution Quantity enables a User \8\ to specify a
minimum share amount at which the order will execute. An order with a
Minimum Execution Quantity will not execute unless the volume of
contra-side liquidity available to execute against the order meets or
exceeds the designated minimum. Specifically, Minimum Execution
Quantity is an instruction a User may attach to an order with a Non-
Displayed \9\ instruction or a TIF of IOC requiring the System \10\ to
execute the order only to the extent that a minimum quantity can be
satisfied by execution against a single order or multiple aggregated
orders simultaneously. An order with a Minimum Execution Quantity will
execute upon entry against a single order or multiple orders if the sum
of those orders is equal to or greater than its minimum quantity.
Alternatively, a User may elect that an incoming order with a Minimum
Execution Quantity to forego executions where multiple resting orders
could otherwise be aggregated to satisfy the order's minimum quantity
but do not individually satisfy the order's minimum quantity
instruction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ The term ``User'' is defined as ``any Member or Sponsored
Participant who is authorized to obtain access to the System
pursuant to Rule 11.3.'' See Exchange Rule 1.5(ee).
\9\ The term ``Non-Displayed'' is defined as ``[a]n instruction
the User may attach to an order stating that the order is not to be
displayed by the System on the EDGX Book.'' See Exchange Rule
11.6(e)(2).
\10\ The term ``System'' is defined 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.'' See Exchange Rule
1.5(cc).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paragraph (e)(3) of Rule 11.10 states that other than changing a
Limit Order to a Market Order, only the price, Stop Price,\11\ the sell
long indicator, Short Sale instruction,\12\ Max Floor \13\ of an order
with a Reserve Quantity, size of the order, and the minimum quantity of
a Minimum Execution Quantity instruction may be changed with a Replace
message. The Exchange recently proposed to amend paragraph (e)(3) of
Rule 11.10, Order Execution, to allow a change to the minimum quantity
of an order with a Minimum Execution Quantity instruction to be
included in a Replace message.\14\ However, this functionality was
never implemented and the Exchange now proposes to remove this language
from its rule.\15\ Removal of this language would, therefore, not
result in a change in functionality. The proposal would also harmonize
the rule with the rules of its affiliate exchanges, BYX, BZX, and
EDGA.\16\

2017), 82 FR 40812 (August 28, 2017) (SR-BatsEDGX-2017-34).
\15\ While the rule change became operative on September 11,
2017 and the Exchange's rules were then updated to reflect the
change, no Member has attempted to change an order's Minimum
Execution Quantity via a Replace message.
\16\ See supra note 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \17\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \18\ in particular, in that it is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in
securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest. The Exchange believes the
proposed amendment to paragraph (e)(3) of Rule 11.10 is consistent with
the Act in that it will clarify the rule by removing language that
reflects functionality not offered by the Exchange, thereby avoiding
any potential investor confusion. The proposed amendments would also

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended. The
proposed amendment to paragraph (e)(3) of Rule 11.10 would not have any
impact on competition as it simply clarifies the rule by removing
language that reflects functionality not offered by the Exchange.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others
No comments were solicited or received on the proposed rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not (i)
significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \20\ and

\21\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). As required under Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the Commission with written
notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and the text of the proposed rule change, at least
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally does
not become operative for 30 days after the date of its filing. However,
Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \22\ permits the Commission to designate a
shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. The Exchange has requested that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposed rule
change will become operative upon filing. The Exchange stated that such
waiver would enable the Exchange to immediately clarify its rule by
removing language that reflects functionality not offered by the
Exchange, and thereby avoid any potential investor confusion. The
Commission believes that waiver of the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because it would enable the Exchange to update its rule without delay.
Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the operative delay and
designates the proposed rule change operative upon filing.\23\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\22\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
\23\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission also has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.
