Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 174 / Friday, September 7, 2018 / Notices
open market and a national market
system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest.
Additionally, the Exchange believes the
proposed rule change is consistent with
the Section 6(b)(5) 16 requirement that
the rules of an exchange not be designed
to permit unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
In particular, the Exchange believes
the proposed rule change protects
investors and the public interest
because it provides all Users with an
efficient process to enter and update
auction responses. Like quoting, auction
responses are a critical form of liquidity
on the Exchange. Auction mechanisms
and the execution and price
improvement opportunities they
provide are dependent on auction
responses submitted during the
auctions. Permitting Users to submit
auction responses into bulk order ports
is consistent with the purpose of these
ports and have a similar purpose as the
orders that Users are currently
permitted to enter into bulk order ports.
The Exchange believes the proposed
rule change may encourage the
provision of additional liquidity in
auctions, which will provide additional
execution and price improvement
opportunities to auctioned orders,
which ultimately benefit investors.

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act. The
Exchange does not believe the proposed
rule change will impose any burden on
intramarket competition, as the use of
bulk order ports and the proposed
functionality is voluntary and available
to all Users of the Exchange. Bulk order
entry functionality is available to all
Users of the Exchange, as is the
proposed functionality to submit
auction responses into bulk order ports.
Users may already submit auction
responses to the Exchange using other
types of ports—the proposed rule
change merely provides Users of the
Exchange with an additional method to
submit auction responses to the
Exchange. The Exchange does not
believe the proposed rule change will
have any direct impact on intermarket
competition, as the proposed rule
change relates solely to the manner in
which Users may submit auction
responses into auctions occurring on the
Exchange.

(C) Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Members, Participants or Others

proposed rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

change does not: (i) Significantly affect

as the Commission may designate, it has
become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 17 and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b–4
thereunder.18

filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if
it appears to the Commission that such
action is: (i) Necessary or appropriate in
the public interest; (ii) for the protection

furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings

should be approved or disapproved.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq

Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed
Rule Change To Provide New Optional
Functionality to Minimum Quantity
Orders
August 31, 2018.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on August
20, 2018, Nasdaq BX, Inc. (‘‘BX’’ or
‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or
‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule
change as described in Items I and II
below, which Items have been prepared
by the Exchange. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change
from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to provide
new optional functionality to Minimum
Quantity Orders.
The text of the proposed rule change
is available on the Exchange’s website at
https://nasdaqbx.cchwallstreet.com/, at
the principal office of the Exchange, and
at the Commission’s Public Reference
Room.
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 aspects of such
statements.

Minimum Quantity Order Attribute,3
which is identical to the optional
functionality provided by The Nasdaq
Stock Market LLC (‘‘Nasdaq’’).4
Current Functionality
An Order designated with the
Minimum Quantity Order Attribute
(‘‘MQ’’) allows a market participant to
specify a minimum share amount at
which it will execute. For example, a
market participant seeking to buy or sell
a large position may desire to execute
only if a large quantity of shares can be
traded to reduce the price impact of the
security being bought or sold. An Order
with MQ will not execute unless the
volume of contra-side liquidity available
to execute against the order meets or
exceeds the designated minimum. When
an Order with MQ is received by the
Exchange, it will execute immediately 5
if there is sufficient liquidity available
on the Exchange within the limit price
of the Order with MQ. Specifically, the
Order with MQ will execute if the sum
of the shares of one or more resting
Orders is equal to or greater than its
minimum quantity. In the case of
multiple resting Orders being aggregated
to meet the minimum quantity, each
contra-side order creates a separate
execution and thus there can be
multiple executions that, in aggregate,
equal or exceed the minimum quantity.
If an Order with MQ does not execute
immediately due to lack of contra-side
liquidity that is equal to or greater than
the designated minimum, the Order will
post 6 to the Exchange book as a NonDisplayed Order with the characteristics
of its underlying Order Type.7 Once
posted, an Order with MQ will execute
only if an incoming Order is marketable
against the resting Order with MQ and
is equal to or greater than the minimum
quantity set on the resting Order with
MQ. Multiple potential executions
cannot be aggregated to meet the
minimum quantity requirement of the
posted Order with MQ. If an Order with
MQ executes partially and the number
3 Rule
4703(e).
Nasdaq Rule 4703(e); see also Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 73959 (Dec. 30, 2014), 80
FR 582 (Jan. 6, 2015) (SR–NASDAQ–2014–95).
5 An Order with MQ would satisfy the
requirements of Regulation NMS Rule 611 and not
trade through a protected quotation. See 17 CFR
242.611.
6 Orders post to the Exchange book only if they
are designated with a time in force that allows for
posting. For example, an IOC order never posts to
the book.
7 A Non-Displayed Order is an Order Type that
is not displayed to other Participants, but
nevertheless remains available for potential
execution against incoming Orders until executed
in full or cancelled. See Rule 4702(b)(3). Orders
with MQ are always Non-Displayed when posted on
the Exchange book.
